Default rear tires

this coming spring i would like to do drag radials on the rear tires and i was wondering what size tires will fit on stock rims... i recently put 60's on the camaro for a little better snow driving and i saw that normal 245's wont fit cause it hits both ends of the wheel well. i had to find a low profile 245 and was thinking even maybe 235's but anyways!

SO i was wondering what size drag radials will fit stock rims...

60s should fit with the right offset what kind of offset are your rims. lets see a couple pictures.

Default with stock salad shooters the max diameter is 26.6 inches

  • BF Goodrich makes a special drag radial that can also be streeted, 255/50 x 16 r; it fits and I have run them on my z28 and salad shooter wheels.
  • Nitto makes a couple 555r size 245/50/16 that are for dragging only and they grip slightly better than the BFG's at the track. No good on street ~ aand they have a duel purpose tire that can do street and track duty~ same size but 200 rated tire wear. 555rs 16 inch
  • Mickey Thompson and Hoozier both make sticky tires that fit
  • Rumor has it that Toyo will have one soon.
