Default What size drag tire fits a C5?

I know the question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find anyone locally who can help me find a dot drag tire or drag radial that will fit a C5. I do not want to grind the upper contral arm or calipers.

I know you guys have dealt with this problem before so I'm counting on your expertise. I need a suggestion for a wheel and tire combination and their sizes.

Thanks for your help.

I have BFG 315/35/17 DRs mounted on 17X11 wheels with 50 MM off set on my 98 C5. You can also use 275/40/17 DRs mounted on 17 inch OEM front rims(17X8.5) from any year C5. No grinding is needed with either of these rims.
