Default 15" drag radials for c7z?
Wondering what most are using and how well they are working. Anyone try the Hoosier 325/50 15?
Thanks
John

I would agree on the size on working better to keep from doing damage.

Those are s77's right? Exactly what I'm looking for, single beadlock.

Newbie Wheel guy here - 15" wheels fit over the rear Z06 brakes? I don't have the z07 brakes and thought smallest size was 18"'s? Looking to put on a drag set and struggling with what fits in the wheel wells!

It does not fit. To do a 15" rear wheel you have to buy a 15" conversion kit which includes full replacement rear brakes which are smaller so they can fit in the 15" wheels.
