Default They fit !

Aloha- I got the BFG Drag Radials on my '05 Vette. I puchased a pair of P275/40R17 TA Drag RA2's mounted on "Sport Edition" 17 x 9.5 wheels from Tire Rack. They fit, just barely clearing the wheel weights and my car has the Z51 performance package. They're are about 2' lower then the stock wheels and should help with the rear end gearing at the track.
Can't wait to get to the race track and run some numbers !!!

Aloha -
I bought them online from TireRack.com - the wheels were $141 and the tires $168, each AND the postman brings them to your driveway mounted, balanced and ready to mount with new chrome lugs ! How can you go wrong ?
