for the Z huh. your car is :pimp: as you know i have been using the nitto dr's 285/35/18 |
Stock Z06 wheels and Toyo Proxes T1-S tires all around (stock sizes). Lost some dry traction, but gained a ton of wet weather performance. |
CCW, www.ccwheel.com, makes a 16" wheel to fit the MT ET Street bias ply tire which is basically a DOT slick. However you have to buy the whole drag package. MT also makes a 17" bias ply tire that can fit on z06 9.5" wheels. When running these with the radial front tires, the car will feel unstable up top and therefore not the safest combo but some have don this. You can go to a drag radial you can fit on stock 17" 8.5 or 9.5 vette wheel. tire size is 275 45 17 and are available from BFG, MT ET Street Radial and Nitto. You can also use a 17 x 11 zr-1 wheel with a 315 40 17 BFG or Nitto You can also use stock 18" rear wheels with BFG 18" drag radial. which one is right for you depends on how much power, how much drag racing and how much driving you want to do on them. |
