Need help with Drag Radials, please.
I'm buying a couple of knock-off rear Z06 rims to mount drag radials on, and I need help choosing the brand. Anybody with a preference and reason why?
What is the difference between BFG Comp T/A Drag Radials and BFG g-Force T/A Drag Radials?
Will 315/30/18's fit on stock rear Z06 rims (18x10.5) without any rubbing? Is it true that this tire has a lower circumference and effectively converts the Z's gear ratio from 3.42 to 3.51?
Where is the best price on Drag Radials?
Sorry about all the questions, and thanks for any help you can offer.

Yes the 315/30 18's will fit right on a stock wheel without rubbing. The difference between the two drag radials are the tread pattern and I am not sure what else. I also know the only tires that will work are the BFG g-force Drag Radial. I hope this helps slap them on and let the good times roll :thumbs:

Have you considered buying FRONT wheels to put on the back (I think they will fit around the brakes ok - anyone know for sure). That will give you 17's for the back and allow you more sidewall height (and scrunch) and probably more choices in tire. I would think getting the extra sidewall height would be more valuable than going a little wider on the tire.
