Default Nitto 305/45/18 on stock wheels...

Has anyone looked at running these on stock wheels? the width seems like it would fit, but the aspect ratio looks too tall.

If not, are there any other ideas? I'm looking for the largest street-legal drag radials that will fit on stock wheels without tubbing.

Someone told me that these are for trucks and will not work with a C5

Check into the BFG 315 X 30 X 18" drag radials. They fit great, look great, and provide excellent dry traction. If your car is not a daily driver (dry weather only) I highly recommend them. I got my set from Todd (Discount Tires) one of our Forum vendors! Good Luck!
