Default Drag radials for c5z 325? Now with pics

I'm looking at a set of M&H RACEMASTER DRAG RADIALS P325-45SR-17

Will they fit on a stock c5z? I found a good deal on them, and just want something to have fun with at the track. I know they are pretty tall for a stock car.
They were on a c5 before but I'm not sure if it was mini tubbed

Thanks

While they are likely better at the track than street tires, they are WAY too tall for anything not making huge power.

Save your pennies and get the proper tires. You'll have better success and be much happier.

275/40/17. M/T, Nitto NT05R, Hoosier, Toyo TQ...

Alright so 275 is plenty for a stock car. I want to get the car to about 430 then add 100 shot. Will 275s still be enough?

yeh. 275s should be fine, but with the increase of power, you should change to a bias ply tire. 26" tall, 16" or 17" rim.

well i ended up getting them anyway. the wheels looked real in the ad but i wanted to be sure. so i went and checked them out. at the price, $225, i couldnt pass them up. so i'm gonna run these until i burn them up, then i'll get some better sized 17s.
