Default Will this tire fit this wheel?
I want to get 18x10.5 Z06 wheels but also want to get drag radials, which makes a problem. So my question is, will a Nitto, 305/45 R18 110V fit this wheel in the rear with proper backspacing? Thanks.

I believe BFG makes a 315/30/18 drag radial. That should work. I have 295's on mine. Had to do some work but they fit with no rubs.

Will the heigth of the tire that can fit, vary with the width?

FWIW Nitto makes a 305/35R18 for both drag racing and road racing. That's still a bit tall though.
