All the answers to your questions are in the big Wheel and Tire thread stuck at the top of the page. There is also a very large "wide fenders only" thread posted in here with a ton of pics and specs.

If you want to run drag radials, I think I would go with an 18/18 combo. With an 18x10.5 or 18x11 rear wheel, a 305/35 or 305/40/18 drag radial might be what you need, for that power level.

Can't fit a 345 inside a stock C5 fenderwell. It will poke, a lot. FWIW, our Custom Wheel & Tire Database isn't really geared towards drag racing and fitting dragrace rubber.
