Default 275/40's on 18x9.5 rims

wassup everybody. i'm new here and i was wondering if any one has a pic of a z28 with 275/40's on 18's all around. i'm thinking about getting the performance wheel outlet's vortec #290 and nitto 555's. what do you think? (might be a stupid question to you guys, but would you go to the drag strip on these?)

18" wheels do terrible for traction at the track. But they sure do look good! <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

yeah i thought so. i don't have the money to buy any other wheels/tires if i want my 18's. and i've never gone to the drag strip yet. i guess i could just keep my stock 16's to race in

40's too tall.. stick with a 35 series tire and save yourself a lot of hassle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

18's at the track suck.. One of these days I will pick myself up a drag set or wheels/tires..

Racing on 18's??????? Why????? Just ride around and look better than everyone..... If they talk **** just tell em "I know my car is faster than your POS, so I have nothing to prove." It will either **** them off or they will just think you are a stuck up punk with more money than you know what to do with.

Why do you think I use it soooo often?? LOL

Seriously get the 18's and don't worry about racing.
