Drag Set for Rear - Size Question

https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Weld-...65,467277.html

Would this rim require any modifications to the rear of the ZL1 1LE?
Also, would I be looking at a 305/45/17 tire for this rim?

Some of Welds' wheels come with extra caliper clearance. I forget what they call it, but that's something to look in to.

Aside from that, there are threads that have the information you're looking for. I run some cheap Drag Stars in a 17 x 10 with the 305s you've already noticed. I can tell you the caliper clearance is almost non-existent. There are labels on the calipers, from the factory, and the wheels have rubbed the labels on both calipers. That's pretty tight. These don't have the clearance of the Welds I've heard about though. I didn't have to modify anything else, though, minus the harness relocation in the driver's side wheel well that is common.

Just go to Weld, spec the ZLE, and select the wheel
