Question 18" Drag Radials?

It just hit me--the Z06 we saw the other night at the track said he was running Nitto drag radials. Stupid me, I did not look, but I'm thinking I doubt that you could fit anything other than an 18" wheel on that car. So could it be that Nitto has an 18" drag radial available?

You got it.
They have all kinds of drag radials in 18's now. I was thinking about just putting those on for good. I don't drive in the rain of snow, so why not.

Hey guys,
Sorry to break the news to you but nitto does NOT make a 18 inch drag radial at all!I have been talking with them for some time about this and no luck so far.They make other performance tires in 18 inch which i have tried but didn't hook any better than the f1's did.Someone did post awhile back that BFG might make one this spring if enough interest is there.

I think that we should all get together and start sending some email to BFG or Nitto. If we show enough interest in the 18" Drag radials surely they will answer to their customers needs.

I already started a list of prospective 28" drag radial buyers at: www.svtperformance.com Go to the Lightning aftermarket forum. Sorry the link I posted before didn't work. I will send all the info to Hoosier, M/T, & BFG. Lloyd
