Default Drag Radials for 18*10.5 57mm offset Z06's
Sorry if I missed this, but ......

Will a 18*10.5 57mm offset Z06 replica with a Nitto DR 305/35 zr18 fit on a 99' Camaro SS? I'm afraid it may be too tall, so I may just go with 18*9.5 with the Nitto DR 285/35 zr 18 or maybe the BFG DR 295/35 r18 or 315/30 r18 on the 10.5 rim? Thanks for the help?

Nitto DR, & BFG DR Chart are thumbnailed.

the 305/35 will fit, it will cause a slight loss in effective gear ratio from the height, but you can make up for it with gear

BFH mod and 1/8" wheel spacers and the inside clears well. The fender lip has not been rolled and the tires just miss.

Yes I'm running ARP studs.

However, if you car is stock the studs aren't really necessary. I broke several studs after a nite of launches on ET Streets.
