  • Looking for input on drag radials

    I have the staggered wheel set up and I'm curious what sizes I can use. The rears I have on now are 275/40/20. Would I be able to run a 275/35/20 setup or even maybe 315/35/20? Any help would be appreciated.

    It depends what the actual wheel size width is in the rear. What's the specs for rear wheel?

      20x9, also can I get away with having only drag radials in the rear?

        I just bought a set of D.R. 305's. I am putting 20x10's rims on the rear. 20x9 you are about at your limit with 275's

            You're better off buying a set of 18" c6 zo6 wheels which are 18x9.5... then running a 305/40/18.

              I have the brembos. I know I need to remove the roller skates, but what's the correct offset that will clear the brakes.

                The 18x9.5 +40mm offset vette wheels will clear the brembos in the rear no problem. I belive PSJ has a set for sale in the classifieds section

                  275/35/20 will fit on you 20/9 wheels the 35 is the side wall, lower profile more apt to get curb rash. 305s require a 20/10 wheel

                    a 275/35 will fit..but will be shorter then stock height. You can fit a 305 on a 9.5" wheel..plenty have done it just "not" recommended

                        I'm about to pull the trigger and buy some replicas want to make sure they're the correct ones. They are 18x9.5, +40 mm offset, 5x4.75 bolt pattern, 70.7 mm hub bore, and 6.75 backspacing. Will this size fit?

                            No I don't have a Facebook, I got rid of it a couple years ago. I know the offset is good, not 100% on the bolt pattern or back spacing.
