What's the best drag radial for a 18X9.5 rim? Yeah I know about the search button lol. I currently have chrome 18x10.5 z06 rims with 50mm offset out back with KDW 295/35's. I found two new chrome z06 rims 18x9.5's with 53mm offset for 375 shipped. Thought it might be cheaper to get those and put either a 275 or 285 street drag radial out back instead of buying a 295/305 18inch tire and having to switch out tires. I'm looking to put a good street/strip tire on the car for fun on the street and on the track. I don't drive it everyday just a toy so not worried about mileage. What di you guys suggest? I don't have a 12 bolt yet so need something that gives a lil. Also are some tires a smaller size than others when it comes to drag radials? I remember something about a few brands were like that. Thanks for any help guys and gals. Happy racing!!

I agree, Good Luck. I had a set of 18 x 9.5 with BFGoodrich drag radials and the only thing it was good for was burnouts. I ended up switching to a 15" with ET Streets.
