Default 15" Lightweight C5 wheels for slicks...

Who makes a 9 or 10" x 15" lightweight drag rear wheel w/correct backspace for a '97 C5 car w/stock style rear? Someone must be running 15" slicks on their C5....Thanks. WJ

A 15" wheel will not fit a C5.A custom made CCW 16" will barely fit.I searched everywhere for info last year and had to spend the bucks on CCW's to get a decent tire on the car.

I don't think CCW make their dragpack anymore.A 16" 4th gen wheel will fit but requires some serious grinder action on the ball joint and knuckle.Most guys balk at grinding on their Vette.

Dave, are most of the quickest C5's around the country running CCW's setup, or are any getting good 60's w/the 18" BFG's or any other combo? Trying to hook a 650+ HP supercharged '97 C5....Thanks. WJ

With 650rwhp, you need the CCW drag package. http://www.ccwheel.com/files/home.php
There's not much info on thier drag package on thier website, it's best to call. Here's another helpful link, http://www.ccwheel.com/files/technical/sub-0.htm
