28x10.5x15 ET Drag. The stiff sidewall version if it is a m6.

That's what I was saying. Around 3.73s would be perfect for forced induction and the occasional drag racing.

He also wants to put slicks on stock z28 rims. Those are 16x8s right? So some 275 slicks?

stock wheels are 16x8 and you would put an ET street on those.

those would work but with the right suspension u prolly hook a MT drag radial

I know they're pretty close, but which would be more optimum for cruising around and drag racing? (3.50 or 3.70) Just talking rpm range through the 1/4 and trap

Why everybody is recommending stiff sidewall for ET Drags? I ask because I'm going to order 28x11.5 (regular) for my M6, is this somehow wrong? Tracks are not prepped at all here
