Which drag radials?
I had 315 BFGs on the stock Z06 rims and the car floated, was very unpredictable and downright dangerous at 70+ mph on the street in a straight line, never mind corners. I would strongly advise against it. 305 Nittos will fit the stock wheels, 335s on a 10.5 rim sounds like a really stupid move.
Just put on a set of 305/35/18 Nittos Nt555r drag radials on the Z this weekend. I have them at 24 psi. At 28psi the car would not hook that good on the street. My friend had a set for his t/a. He had them at 32psi and after a few thousand miles the center of the tire wore out. He put them down to 25psi and they lasted for 14,000 miles total on them. Tested the tires out last night when it was cool. When the tires warmed up a bit they hooked great. Plus they have a lot less road noise than the stock tires. Btw at 24psi cold, got it up to 150mph last night with no vibrations or problems, car stuck to the road!
all i will run is MTs my dad had BFGs not even close to mine. a freind had nittos and they were in the middle. i should say that if you do long distance driving you will burn the MT up very fast. i drove them in rain and they did very well. i also didnt drive like a moron. i did vote the MT but if you dont hit the track that much or do drive a bunch on the street go NITTO
nittos= high millage street driving mild track
MT= low millage min street awesome track duty.
BFG= ummmmm... i have not seen any good my buddie totalled his 02 ann yellow TA in a mist on the interstate going slow, dad couldnt hook his vette on them for ****. buddie i worked with had a 10LX mustang and he hated them same 60ft as his street tires......

I have a set M/T's 18" 305 35r et street radials coming, so yes you can get them in an 18. I hope they solve my lack of traction problem. Good luck. Pm me in a few weeks and I'll let you know how they worked out.
