Default I need some advice on wheel/tire setup

I have a 98 c5 and I want to get a set of rear wheels(cheap) for the drag strip
I was wondering what fits without grinding, and what are some of the setups other forum members use. thanks -chris

C4 wheels will fit your bolt pattren. JROD uses then on his car at the track with GREAT success!!! I have a video of his car at the track but I cant figure out how to post it or find the link. They seem to work fine on his car!
See if you can contact him and get his advice.

NOMO

I'm glad you got the wheel thing figured out. Normally questions get answered pretty quick on the forum. I don't know why no one replyed back to you.

There is a Drag Racing specific forum (here on the CF) that would have been a great place to post this topic... You may have gotten your question answered a little faster over there... In any case, I am glad that the guys answered your questions you needed to know.

BTW, I have posted topics (questions) previously that were never answered.. so dont take it personally. :crazy:

VR :cheers:
