Default Drag Radial for 2017 Z51 on stock 20x10 wheels

I want to install Drag Radials on my stock 20x10 wheels on my 2017 Z51. No one makes a true 285/30/20 drag radial. I thought about switching to 19x10’s but no one makes a reproduction wheel painted silver that would match my stock front wheels.

I tried to install Toyo R888R 285/30/20’s but I found the tire extremely noisy. They sounded like a knobby off-road truck tire.

I’m not sure what to do. On other cars, I’ve run 19” Nitto NT05r’s, Mickey Thompson ET Streets, 17’ Nitto NT05r’s, Hoosier R1’s, Mickey Thompson ET Street SS and 15’ Mickey Thompson ET Pro Radials. Non of these tires were noisy like the Toyo R888R’s.

I ordered a set of the MT 285/30-20 Street SS tires yesterday. I’ve been told they are on backorder with an estimated ship date of May 14th.
