Default Slick setup

Im to the Corvette scene but not to dragging cars. I recent picked up a 99 Frc wide body c5 , and Ive already hit the track with my 19' Nto5r rear tires but I need alot more traction and better 60fts and 1/4 mile. Granted it was the 1st time on the track with the car but I was only trapping 118-119mph with a 1.7-1.8 60 ft and a 11.75 1/4 mile. Im making 549whp on a A&A supercharger kit on 8psi. Im looking into a set of 17x9.5 rims with 28x10-17 hoosiers. Will they fit? Im lowered on Eibach bushings/bolts and sway bars

Those tires are likely too tall for your ride as it sits.

An F-body 16" wheel will fit and you can use the Hoosier QTP. Just be sure to use skinnys up front.

Also, you can buy spindles that allow for a 15" wheel. Then your tire options are wide open.
