Default What 16" drag setup are you guys using? Need advice!!

I've got an 03' Z06 and I'm in the market for some 16" drag wheels i can put bias ply slicks on, because 15" won't fit i I can't afford spindles and wheels. I'm also gonna need some skinnies up front.

I was looking at some race stars, but i can't find 16" wheels. Not sure the offset and width either!

What are you guys running? Needing to keep cost below $800 for wheels.

I really appreciate the help.

Damn! That really sucks.. you'd think someone would make better, less expensive options for us. Most people can't use 15" wheels without new spindles anyway.

What tires are you running? Are they 26" or 28"?

26 x 11.5 x 16 bias ply, I have a set of mickey thompsons and a set of m & h's, I don't think you can get the m/t's in that size any more but you can still get the m & h's

If you can find something for the rear I think you can use gto spares on the front, just make sure you use a bias ply on front if you run bias on rear

In the rear, I am running a set of 16" c4 corvette wheels and MT bias ply 26x11.50. I have to use a 2" spacer because I am not grinding anymore off the knuckle for it to clear.

I am running GTO spares up front with MT ET front runners.
