Default I just bought a 1000Hp c5z06

It has 20s on it right now in the rear. The car is useless until i hit fourth gear. Spins through all 3 gears completely. Anyone know what would be the best setup for rim size with wich tires for drag racing street.

I think you meant to say racing at a sanctioned drag strip instead of street racing, which we all know is against the law and not to be condoned in any way!

Anyhow, what kind of tires are on the rears now?

You will never have real traction unless you go with 15's with lg spindles and some slicks.

For the street though I would probably go with 17 in the rear with a 345 drag radial.

If you don't like it, I'll gladly give you my Z06 for it. I'll even personally deliver it.
