Question Drag wheels/tires for G8

Hey guys!!

Anyone have 15 or 16 drag wheels on G8 My friend is looking to buy a set for his 440ci LSX Nitrous M6 G8.

What size do you have? where to buy?

Thanks in advance.
Sam.

CCWs are to my knowledge the only 16" that will fit without changing the rear rotor, and calipers. 15" will take a good bit more to make fit

CCW is the only one I know of. I have 16x9.5 rears.
There are two versions-- a street and a strip version. I have the street
version. They weigh slightly more than the strip version.

The 17" wheels from the 2004-2006 GTO's are a direct fit. I use those with Nittp NT05R's when racing.

Having that kind of power, M6 and IRS... Go with as much of a sidewall BIAS PLY tire. I suggest the only option IMO, CCW Drag Pack. They are expensive, but worth it. I am selling my car and will sell my Drag Pack. Let me know if you are interested. PM and/or email mnicholsm@gmail.com

Without too many details on this thread, they have very few passes and are in excellent shape.

And how wide of a tire could one put on those rims?
