I'am looking for the same think and i dont want to open a new topic.19's and upper sizes are a little to much for my taste.I want to buy 18x12 or 18x13 wheels for rears and 18x9/10 for the fronts.I'll prepare the front and rear fenders for that.

Thanks, now that is what I'm looking for. I' massuming the 275/35 on a 9.5" rim is about the smae overall diameter of the 345/30 on a 12"?
Wow, a 1.52 60' on BFG DR is pretty impressize considering a 10 sec 1/4 time

I am trying to get a 1.4X this year, to say the least it suprises a few folks when I drive up on what I race on, 50 miles each way is fine. Hell last Feb my pit crew & I drove to SC 450+ miles each way with them and raced on them......been racing since 1980
And haven't turned on that little switch yet
note: corvettes have a MUCH easier time fitting wheels...and you can mini tub them unlike fbody's...you will not fit that big of a wheel tire combo on an f-body without it significantly sticking out...by the way that is a very nice vette...and i have wanted to see those drag radials in a similar size mounted for a years...thanks...by the way how much did those wheels cost

The 295's worked out fine

I snagged the DR setup with tires, pressure sensors, lugs & locks near new delivered for 2K. Tuner in AZ was breaking up his C5 a year ago.
The fronts & other set of rears for my 345/35/18 treaded street tires were right at 1100 each delivered from WCC...........a good price but not cheap by any means. Looked long and hard at what to get. I wanted something that could take potholes, road course abuse and autoxing and if I ever wanted to change the width I can as its a 3 piece wheel

ok sorry about that i just misunderstood you a little...that is crazy money haha...i think i'll stick with the chrome 10 spokes from slp and widen them...they will be about 400 a piece for the rears and 200 a piece for the fronts...

I am now using 335/30/18's pilot sports rear there is no clearance problems, and they dont hit the inner fender well. I did roll them a bit though, and the aphr...and the bfh mod.
