Wheels and TiresNeed help with wheels or tires? Got fitment issues? Have questions about tire performance and handling? Ask all of those questions here!
Well I'm looking at picking up a drag pack for my car this year, so I can have a bit more fun on the 1/4mile. For the fronts i've decided i'm going to go after the GTO aluminum Spares for front runners (new tires obv). But I need suggestions from those on what you've used with your cars if you have a 4th gen rear end since they stick out 1-1.5" further out on both sides. I dont want to pick up a pair of wheels for the back then find out they wont fit once i put a tire on w/ the 1/4 panel lip

Reason: typos
Also in mind the car has been lowered with the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs. and also has KONI Yellow shocks, the Founder's Performance rear adj suspension, and Spohn Adj Torque Arm with K member mount
Any 4thgen offset rear wheel would fit fine, you can use a bolt on spacer in the front if you use a set of 4thgen wheels. I bought a set of six polished ZR1 wheels from a buddy with an 01 Z28. I got four 17x9.5 with some Z rated street tires and 2 17x11's with 315/35R17 Nitto 555R drag radials. Sorry I don't have any pics yet, I've only had the wheels a couple weeks and the car is still on stands for winter. Wheels are from OEwheelsllc.com.
right now i run a set of c5 z06 wheels. but they're quite heavy 17x9.5s up front and 18x10.5s in back, Reason I was gonna run the GTO Spares for front runners and then i needed something for in back for a taller tire and that'll still clear the ls1 brakes
