What size tire can I fit?
I have 18 x 10 on the rears. I have some worthless Nitto 275/35/18 on now and they look way too stretched! Looking to replace with some street DR's and was wondering what tire I could fit. I'm more concerned with launching and not so much about handling.
Here's some pics to show how much room I have under my mild drop.

^ Not sure about the offset. Its whatever Dazz Motorsports recommends for the Z. They're the main distributor for Racinghart so I went with their recommendation. I posted more pics above to show, but the wheel is about flush with the edge of the fender.

^ Would it just be some minor fender rolling if the 305 ended up being a little snug? I don't think I'm in a position to have a shop test fit one.

It'll fit, and you should be okay as long as you don't wheel hop too much off the line, but I wouldn't recommend putting them on before getting to the track as you'll likely rub on turns

See, the thing is, I only put about 300 miles on my car a month. And when I do take it out its to drag race and fool around. I not into taking turns hard so I don't care how the tire reacts in those situations. I'm looking for a tire that when I hit the nitrous on the street it will hook but I'm not spending $400 plus per tire for Pilots or something similar. These MT's are $211 per and from what I gather from hot rod forums seem to hook well.
I'll probably give them a try because they have to be better than my crappy nitto's
