Default Wagon Wheel Size??

Looking to get some cheap rims for drag radial use. Right now the old 97-99 wagon wheels seem to be the way to go. Will the 17" fronts fit on the rear or do I have to use the 18" rears?? Thanks in Advance!!

Nope they will fit. You can get Drag Radials in the 18 in. diameter as well. I have a set of BFG Drag Radials mounted on my old wagon rears. I will be pulling them off soon to mount my current street tires back on the wagon wheels and will be selling my OEM High Polish Thin spokes and my used drag radials. Then selling the C5.
