Default Drag Radials for my C6 Z06

I am looking for an 18" rim for the back that looks like the stock rim and a DR that will fit it.

Where can I find these?

Thanks

Good luck, you were definitely struggling at Norwalk!

Well I went to the track Sunday and had a blast... Started off ok but by the end of the day I was running in the 11.70's pretty consistantly.
Best pass was as Follows:
Reaction .7681
60' 1.7957
330' 5.0330
ET @ 594' 7.1539
1/8th 7.6280
1/8MPH 94.91
1/4 ET 11.7029
1/4 MPH 119.65
Best ET of the day was the 11.70 and the best MPH was 121. the 1.79 was the best 60' as well.
Pretty happy overall... I was at Kil-Kare raceway in Xenia Ohio.
Track temp was 117
Temp was at 92 although the temp guage in my truck said 125
Humidity was at 68-70 most of the day. It actually started raining and we had to call the day early.
I am still coming through the traps at the top of 3rd gear though... I think I need to adjust when I shift or something.

Mickey Thompson is releasing an 18" drag radial soon.

Nitto and BFG both also offer 18" drag radials.

Call CCW and ask them about their drag pack available for the C6Z06. I just ordered some new wheels from them with 18" drag radials.

I would wait for the MT STREET RADIAL 305/35/18. They told me it is scheduled for a mid June release. I couldn't wait and went with their 270/40/17 DR. Made a big difference over my Nittos 305/35/18. My 60 ft went from 1.9xx to 1.6xx. The nittos were good for 1.6xs 60 fts until I added H/C. They could not hold the extra power.

i got BFG 315/35/17 on my C6 Z06, it's a great fit. if it'd EVER STOP RAINING in texas, i'd go to the strip to test em out.
as far as 18s, i've heard you can get weld wheels to make your stock front 18s fit for DR, then you can just have stocks wheels all around running DRs

You can use a stock C5 Z06 wheel. Both the 17" and 18" will fit your rears. Try the BFG drag radials.
