Default HELP! Slicks or dr's

Alright guys.. I'm sure this question has been asked but I can't find it on here... So I want to appologize now for it... But I'm in the process of buying some slicks or dr's... My current wheels are xxr 006 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 rear... Would it be beneficial to stick a slick or dr on an 18" wheel? If so.. Size? Which one? Or I do still have my 2000 z28 stickers and I wouldn't mind if it were better to stick the slicks on those? 16x 9 I think... What do u guys think?

So u would say dr's on the 18's?? U think I'll have enough sidewall so it hooks good? And what dr would be good? MT?

i really cant say for sure. i have no experience running 18s. a lot of people do put dr's on 18s tho. but if you want slicks, personally i would go with a smaller wheel
