Really torn on rim/tire options.
Decided not to jump on the APEX GB a month or so ago because, honestly I thought they were “OK” looking, not really what I’m looking for in terms of styling.
After doing some passes last weekend I think I want to do a few runs this year while I have the time. I also still want to hit Road America. I’m going to need new rears for sure pretty soon, especially if I do one or two more drag days. My dilemma is do I stick with the factory SC3’s for a daily tire & that one RA trip & get a set of rear 19” rims in ZLE size with a Nitto? Or do I get a full 18” set & go with something like the MT ET’s/ skinnies? I don’t really drive it in the rain, but there is our yearly 1,500 mile road trip the wife & I take & we can run into inclement weather along the way... I also live over 2hrs (mostly highway) from the closest strip so I’m relegated to the best performing drag radial. I also want to keep the OD as close to OE as possible so not to throw off the computers or do any reprogramming. Don’t know what the best route to go is.

I really agonized over the same thoughts. I am not interested in road racing, but I do want to drag my car. So, I finally went with the Weld 17" S71 bead lock for the rear and their 18" S71 non bead lock in the front. Nitto has a combination that puts the OD's of front and rear at 27.6" and 27.8" respectively. R2's on the rear and Invo's on the front. I don't think anyone can have a better set up for a DD and strip car.

Since it seems like your focus is mostly on Drag racing and DD ability, I would get two sets of tires for that, since the only tire that I know that can handle both well, is the SC3, otherwise you'll want three sets of tires if you wanted a dedicated set for all three scenarios.
