Default Drags for 18 inch rim

Does anyone make a drag radial to fit an 18 inch rim?

They wouldn't work well anyway, due to having such a short sidewall. 18" wheels just aren't made for drag racing...

Nitto has been planning to come out with an 18" drag radial this year.

Nitto makes an 18 inch drag radial! They work awesome for my buddy's vette. The side wall is suprisingly tall, actually alittle to tall. It looks kinda funny. But they do make them and they do work well for a bolt on vette on gas. Just some helpfull info. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Any chance you could take a picture of this? I know they're going to be really tall but does it fit without rubbing?
