97 Camaro stock wheel 16 x 8
I am planning on adding N20 15o shot over winter and I know I need to change tire size. I am running a 255 50/16 hoosier DR now. I believe I need to move up to a 28" tire and my question is, what is the largest I can get on these rims that will work. I run a 4:10 gear out back. Thanks and I did search before posting and nothing was coming up matching.

Ohh I'm interested too! Maybe I could make use of all my old rims instead of buying new...

yea...have found some readings on this. Can be done but not the best. What if I switched to the WS6 17x 9. I want to keep the 5 spoke look that I have now and I can get Z28 decals to Cover the WS6 part

I think you will be better off looking for some used drag lites, or the star ones.... 2 rears can be found cheap... and it will be dedicated wheel and tire for racing... you get some skinnies up front to match and now you lose some weight as well... Originally Posted by devildog1

Zr1 caps fit ws6 wheels. Skinnies have been proven to be good for 2-3 tenths in the quarter. Originally Posted by devildog1
