Default What size drag radials?

Hey guys, looking for right size drag radials for C5 lowered on stock bolts and planning to mount on 17" oem magnesium wheels...

Don't want to remove or tear up the fender liners either....

Thanks....

275/40/17 from M/T or Hoosier.

It’s 26” tall or so and should be sufficient depending on your power and setup.

Manual trans, or auto?

If Manual, I highly recommend not using a drag radial. A bias ply tire in a 26" height will work, but you'll have to use bias fronts as well.
