Can I use my GS front wheels on the rear? I would like to use them for drag radials.
your front tires are 2" narrower, and 1" shorter than your rears. You seem to be ignoring the importance of contact surface. While a narrower tire has a smaller contact surface, so does a shorter tire. If you want to improve traction, get drag radials for the rear wheels. The wider tread and greater diameter have a better contact surface.
Possibly, you can't find drag radials to fit the rears. If that is the case, open that question up to the forum. I certainly would not go to a narrower and shorter tire expecting better traction.

would you use the stock size front tire on that wheel? If not, what tire do you plan on using? I know people use 15” or 16” wheels and put taller tires on the rear for traction. Is that what you’re trying to do by using 18” wheels?
