ZL1 DRAG RADIALS

So, I am just a newbie to drag radials, is there any reason that I can't buy an extra set of OEM polished rear wheels for my ZL1 and mount Nitto 315/35/R20 drag radials on back for track/spirited street use?

The only reason to look at other wheels would be to save money, get a lighter wheel, or run more sidewall.

what you are talking about would work just fine.

You could go down to your dealer and buy a couple rear wheels from the parts counter.

For maximum perform you would be better off buying a 18" rim with a DR. Much faster out of the hole with some sidewall tires, especially if you have a M6 tranny.

You can run an 18" C6Z06 Replica with some 18" drag radials and it'll be great. Just make sure you get the fronts (18x9.5) with a 40mm offset. These will bolt right up and all you need to do is possibly zip tie the ebrake cable back. I wouldn't waste your money on another set if 20's for drag radials.

Gd luck!!
