What's the best setup out there for a stock car ( other than a borla exhaust)?

I'm planning on making a few passes and want to know what others have done as far as drag radials. Does a smaller rim fit in the back? Are Nittos better now than they used to be? I struggled with Nitto drag radials in the past and did better with BFGs with an LS1...

Ideally I would think it would be best to get a smaller rim in the back if it fits and put drag radials on it....not sure what fits or what's best?

I'm assuming you are drag racing a C5 Corvette. If so get a pair of factory C5 Z06 17" front wheels. Mount a set of M/T 275-40-17 drag radials on them and go racing.

Thanks, I have a c6 z06...

They'll fit, you just need to make sure the wheel weights are on the inside of the barrel so they don't hit the brake caliper.

Chris is this the best set up for a z06/Gs. ??

Is a 275 enough or can you use a 315 with and success. ??

Thanks

The 315 Hoosier will fit on that rim and work better in my opinion.

Perfect. Steve(f-14) has a set I can try out.
315/35 or 40's.

Gotcha... Thanks!

so a 315 Hoosier will work on a 9.5 17" C5Z rim..

So if I bought a C5 front 17" Speedline (factory 06 Z06 wheel) replicas an put DR's on them will they fit my 06 Z? I want the rears to match my fronts.

Better off with used OEM.
They are much lighter and will definitely clear.

I want fronts to match the rears.
