What size drag wheels for a C5?
I just bought a set of ET Streets for the track, sizes are 26x10.5x15. How wide of a rim should I put them on, and what offset should I get. I don't want them rubbing on anything. Thanks.

Really, why not? That sucks, I actually bought the ET Streets to put on my LT1 Camaro, but when I sell it, I was hoping to use them on the vetter. If they don't fit, I guess I'll have to go with a different size.

You can use 16" wheels, but you will have to modify the upper A arm. If you want to use the 15s there are a few solid axle conversions I have seen done.

Although a solid axle conversion would be cool for the track, it's not exactly something I want to do to my car. If the 15's don't fit, and the 16's either for that matter, guess I'll have to find some 17" drag radials. Thanks.

It is not much work for the 16, basically shaving some material off, do a search about it, I did not really read into it because I knew I was not going to drag much anyway.

16's will fit and you can can use a 10.5 or 11.5 tire 26" or 28" tall.
You will need to modify the upper a arm a little to fit the 16" wheel.
You can buy a full set of rears and skinnies from www.ccwheel.com
Many guys running the 16" package
