Default drag radial size help for z06 c5

i have a 2002 z06 that i want to put the new nitto nt05r 315/40/18. im guessing my wheels are 10.5 inches wide because they are the stock z06 wheels. will these wills fit on my car being that they are 28.03 inches tall? my car is lowered in the rear with stock bolts.

if anybody has any experience with these tires or has any pictures of them on their car post em up please.

315 might be a bit much, I know the 305 will fit fine. I've got 305 with an 11" rim on my stock lowered vehicle and it's just on the edge.

If youre on stock 3.42's the 28" will slow you down some.

315's will fit but try to go 305's or something close to a 26" tire.

A friend of mine runs those tires in 305-35 on his Z06. Its a little bit over 26"

I agree, the better size for those stock 18x10.5s is the M/T or Nitto 305-35s or even the BFG 295-35s.

you should get 315.30,18 in bfg drag radial instead. they work real good and look very agressive too.

BFG's run wide, so while you may be able to put them on a 10.5 wheel, it probably isn't the best fit for that size.

BFG Drag Radial 295/35-18 work very well. They are close in width to the Nitto NT555r 305's.
