Drag Wheels
I have a set of Mickey Thompson 26 - 11.50 x 16 ET Drags for my 2001 C5. Having a problem finding the right wheel with the right offset so as to clear the control arm. Just barely touching. Would like to use a 26 x 10 but don't know what offset, if any, will clear the arm. Any help would be appreciated. By the way, don't want to alter or machine wheel or control arm if possible.
Thanks, KJ

Don't think that wheel exists.
Everyone I know of with 16" rears has modifind the A-arm by grinding or banging it down.
Some have also take some off the wheel.
CCW makes a great wheel and firbird and C4 16" wheels have been used in this application.

Be very careful when grinding the top ball joint, I went a little too far the first time I did it. I had to replace the spindle. Not trying to scare you just wanted to warn you. :cool:
