On rims for My Vette.
Thinking of 12x18 rear{335,345's drag tires},9x18 front. Good looking,good quality,..but not "too" expensive!
Thank in advance!

George

Sorry,just noticed I typed in "19" front tires,...I meant "18"!!
Just edited the post!

the 345x30x18 is a good choice. but if you want it to drag get the ccw drag pack might as well have skinnies up front. and remember somtimes to much tire and rim means weight and drag = slower 1/4 times

I would get the black center chrome lip GM motorsport wheels they are inexpensive and will go with your fronts, I change only the rears no sensors when I race, takes 10min to swap park near the sensors and errors are almost non existant

18 x 9.5 10 or 10.5 will work great 295 or 305 BFG Nitto or the new MT

If you can find 11's or 12's go with the 345
