Skinnies question

I'm purchasing a set of Weld or RC front wheels for the strip. I'm currently running Nitto Dr's 345/30/19's out back. If anyone can speak from experience and offer recommendations for a 17" drag radial front tire, it would be appreciated.
Front wheel specs: 17" x 4.5

Thanks!

Do you have a base model or Z51? I don't know that you'll get a 17" wheel to clear the brakes. An 18", yes, no problem.

I'm not sure the information you were provided is accurate. Pretty sure you'll need a spacer to run 17's up front. At least I know that on our 2017
ZO6, non ZO7.

That what I thought at least a 18x5 but since he is a vendor I thought he maybe sold someone a 17x4.5 and worked out as he state its will work for a zo6
