wheels and tires
I would like to know if this would be a good setup for the street and a little strip. Lets start with the wheels CCW 505a the sizes I was thinking 18x8.5 front and 18x11 rear. Now the tires this is hard I want the best tration on the street so I was thinking about 285/35ZR-18 97Y Nitto NT555R II Extreme for the front I still want handling but I know??
Now for the rear I was thinking 305/45R-18 Nitto NT 555R Drag Radial I dont see how you could go wrong with that or 315/30ZR-18 Nitto NT-01 but again i dont know??
Now I dont care about miles on the tires and the car with have about 600rwhp. Sorry for making this long but I really want some good answers Thank you.

Why are you going with such a narrow wheel for the front? For a 285 tire this is too small. You should go with 9.5 as a minimum and 10 inch would be best for this size of front tire. 11 inch rear is ok. If your going to run 315's 11.5 might be a little better. If you are going to spend the money for CCW's, get the right ones now so you don't regret it later.
