Alot of ZO6 guys run the 18 inch BFG. I had them for a while and by no means am I a great 6sp driver as a matter of fact I suck at it and I managed a terrible 1.9x 60's. I have since quit trying to drag race my ZO6..LOL
Nitto now has am 18" radial guys are starting to like.
I have also seen a couple Vette guys take a 17 inch wheel so they look stockish and go with a MT DR. Guy named Doug round here(A4 car) has run very good short times...Like high 1.5x's

Im running the 275/35/18's BFG Drag radials, the new style. I like em. Im still working on perfecting my launch. I have 4.10s it makes it kinda tricky, but I would say they hook really good. This is my 2nd set. The first set lasted about around 10 months before I saw the replacement lines

Can you guys get any traction on the street? I currently have some Z06 wheels and was going to get rid of them due to lack of traction. I just dont think there is enough of a sidewall to hook well on the street with 18's. My 17 inch nitto's hooked pretty well after some practice. I havent got drag radial for the Z06 wheels because I was thinking of stepping back down to 17 inch wheels.
