c5 coupe racing wheels
Hello. New to this forum, but need some help. Ive been looking for some drag wheels for my c5. Looking at weld wheels, bogart and something that will fit. As of now i have the stock wheels which are 17x8.5 front 7.03 backspacing, and 18x9.5 7.81 backspacing. front tires are 245-45zr 17 nittos, Rear tires are 285-40zr 18 nittos. I want to use the same tires, any suggestions would help. Correct me if i'm wrong on what came stock on my car..2000 coupe.

You are just looking for a spare set of the same size wheels for racing? I’d like to suggest looking for a set of ‘97 through ‘99 wagon wheels on the parts forum and your local Facebook marketplace. Generally quite cheap - I’ve seen them go for $100 a set. I find them ugly, but they are light and strong.

redzg is offering some good advice. Wagon wheels would work just fine.
