Default 4.5 Backspacing

So right now I have on my car 295-40/17's on 18" in z06 wheels. Fit fine. I'm getting a MWC Ford 9" this summer. My question is, a set up drag wheels with sticky mickeys that have a 4.5 inch back spacing fit well with that rearend? And will my z06 wheels fit as well? Thanks

That depends... how wide are the drag wheels?

If you want to run the wheel with a 4.5" BS (assuming it is 10" wide) you need to have the rear end narrowed in which case your z06 wheels will not fit any more.

If you want to run a 3" spacer... I wouldn't.

Depending on how narrowed or wide your rearend is going to be that
will determine how the drag wheels will look.

I would tell Eric at MWC what wheels you are running and let him spec out the rear for you.

As for your other question.
If you want to reuse your 18" Z06 wheels.

What ever Eric cuts off or shortens on the rear that you order from him
that is going to be the size spacer that you will need to run with them 18"
Z06 wheels.
