Drag radial for vette? I would like to get a drag radial for my 2001 Corvette with stock wheels. I cannot find any in my size. What do you guys run, or people you know run with stock wheels on a corvette?
Thank you.
Thank you.

I would think the Nitto 555R in 285/35-18 should be a good fit for stock C5 rear wheels. Or 305/35-18 if you wanted to upgrade to some Z06 wheels.

Stock tire size is 275/40/18. 9.5" wheel
M/T makes the following:
265/40/18
305/35/18
The 265 would be only 10mm skinner, would that look foolish? The 305 requires a minimum of 10" rim though. I know it's not recommended, but do you guys think there is a chance of failure. If so, I will not get them. Saftey is my 1st concern. Now, Nitto makes a 305/35/18. In all of my research, Nittos run small, so would that be an option?
