Default Hoosier 28x10x16 Drag Slick on a C5

Who is running a pair and is there any rubbing and/or clearance issues?

ET Streets. That sig time is pretty old and just NA. With the nitrous setup, I know the ETs will not hold.

I think thevettedoctors, boweryboy and tek warrior might have or have had them on their cars at one point.

I have the CCW dra setup with the Hoosiers on my Vette
If you have the stock ride height you wont have any issues, you just have the check the front to back clearance as i get a little bit of rub every once in a while especially with hard launches, but not enough to move the height up a 1/8 - 1/4 of and inch.
Best 60' times of 1.44!!!!!! :eek:
