First I assume you are going to use a 18" wheel since I not aware of any 19" drag radial tires.

A 315 is ideal for a 11" wheel. Anything smaller will cause the tire to bluge and loose surface area on the tread. Some people mush them on a 10.5", but that is a mistake IMO.

If you are going to go for a 18" C6 rim, then go with a 275 wide tire or possibliy a 295.

a Nitto DR will work just fine on a stock Z06 rear wheel. The BFG should be near the same
