I'm actually using a set of Forgestar F14's 18x12 rear with M&H 345/35/18. For the front I'm taking the 18x10 and having them shortened to 18x6... Another forum member has done it...
If you got the money then go with the 15 inch RTS's for your rear with the LG drag spindle and stock C6 rear brakes... Looks the best...

Anthony @ LGMotorsports 02-12-2013 09:42 AM

For the top in traction, the 15" is going to give you the largest range of tires and the best as far as an all out drag slick on it.

Our Billet drag spindles and 15" Weld combo is running on some of, including the quickest IRS Corvette on the planet right now. Proven to run into the 6's! :thumbs:


I think everyone knows this one :D

That 505a setup is nasty, why just get the same style wheel in the new size u need

FNBADAZ06 02-12-2013 10:00 AM

I have a single CCW C140 18x13, if you choose that route......save you 400.00 on at least one wheel :cheers:

ajw2500hd 02-12-2013 10:05 AM

yea what scares me about the 15 inch spindles is i would have to run a 28'' tire and they dont make gears for Z06 so i have been running 25.6-26'' tires for better stock gearing

Why would you have to run a 28" tall tire? There are 26" tires as well.....

:iagree: Let me know if you're interested.

ajw2500hd 02-12-2013 10:13 AM

who makes a drag radial thats wide enough for a 15x10 and 26''?

Frans96ss 02-12-2013 10:38 AM

Stock 19 inch run flats. Your cars too slow to need anything else :rofl:

FNBADAZ06 02-12-2013 10:45 AM

Why did you sell the RT-S combo you were originally running on ?

Change it up and maybe get wider rear wheel

I think the welds look the best.

17's. CCW classics look good too.

realcanuk 02-12-2013 01:26 PM

I like the setup you had. I just ordered the same thing except wider in the front as I want to drive it every day... not a real "drag setup". I considered going 15" in the back but decided the 17s would be better for normal driving and should hook well with 325 racemasters.
Welds are the best looking IMO
