Default Drag Pack Setup HELP !

Quick Question. I have a set of CCW's 18x11 front and 18x13 rear. Im trying to run Street Radials on them. For the Rear I'm running Mickey Thompson 345/30-18. For the fronts, would running a 305/35/18 cause any rubbing issues? I drive a c6 ZO6. Are there other street radials for the fronts one can suggest that can prevent rubbing and come in proper sizes? I've heard people run 295/35-18 on the same wheels for the track with no rubbing issues. Wheel diameter is about 26 inches for the front. Please Let me know.

These for the fronts

Possible without any rubbing issues? I'm going to raise the height of the car cause I'm running Pfadt coilovers.

why would you run a drag radial on the front? unless its all wheel drive. just use regular radials

Maybe I'm missing something, because what you described is not a drag pack tire/wheel combo.

If you're going drag racing, those are wrong. Unless you have in excess of 600 rwhp, a 275/40x17 on a 9-10" wide 17" wheel will do just fine for the rear. Just use your everyday OEM fronts until you decide to get more serious.

Sorry if i mis-titled my thread. Yes I'm running 900 at the wheel and almost 1000rwhp at crank. I'm just wanting a good street radial for "moderate" spiritied driving. Anyway, now that I already have the wheels, would that tire I posted on the link work? I'm the kind of person who likes all four tread patterns to match with same brand wheels. And drag radials in front just for traction issues on slight turns at slight speeds. Thanks.
