My car has C5 rims, and 285/35ZR18 97Y tires on the rears.

I want to get some street/drag tires for it. But not sure what size i should put on.

Seems like the numbers for the tires i am looking at are different, ie 28"x11.5x16

So...what size should i be looking at for my rims?

Thanks!

Well first off, need to look at tires that fit a 18" diameter wheel not a 16" daimeter . .

Drag tires are sized different that stree tires.

They go: Overall diameter x Overall treadwidth x wheel diameter

So a 28 x 11.5 x 16 is . . .

28 inches tall

11.5" wide

and fits a 16" wheel

So for your tires you'd need something like a 27 x 10 x 18, if that even exists . . .

I'm not very aware of ture 18" drag tires . . .

Sorry..i just took that drag tire size as an example.

So....i really need different rear rims to get a good drag/street tire.

That kinda sucks..was hoping just to keep it on my current rim..and leave them on all the time.

So...i basically need to get different rims to get some good traction?
