Wheels and tires for drag strip
 
2011 Camaro SS lowered.

Im looking for tires and rims for when I go to the track only.
I currently run P Zero 20 inch for the street but am looking for a wheel and tire setup that I can drive to the track. I want to change the tires and then drive to the track and remove when I get home later.
Does anyone know which rim will fit if I go to an 18 and which tire is best.
I was looking at MT's but not sure. Im more concerned about the rim fitting over the Brembo in the back.

Thanks

I run 17" Welds RT-S series on mine. clears the Brembo's. Just need to zip tie your hand brake cable's to gain extra clearance.And check the clearance between the wheel and the lower arms.With a fast 60 ft,the wheel may hit the arm.
You can go with 18"s aswell.

Race Star 18x10.5, polished or dark
Corvette C6 replica 18x9.5 40mm offset

Both are a direct fit.

John, what tires are you running on your star racing rims. I got the 18x10.5. I'm looking at Mt p305/35r18's

Pro Stock John 11-01-2014 04:02 PM

For the rear I am running 305/45R18 Nitto NT05R.

The 35's you are talking about sound kinda short no?

Will any corvette replica wheel work for the rears of a ZL1? I was looking at these:

Thanks for the link. Looks like the ones i posted wont fit due to the 56mm offset. Too bad cause they were on sale...

Pro Stock John 01-24-2015 01:14 PM

56mm will require at least a 5mm spacer.

305/45R18 Nitto NT05R. For my rear .
