I am looking to buy another set of wheels with drag radials so that I can just swap them out before I go to the track. If you were to go to americanmuscle.com which wheels and tires would you get that would give you the most traction? What will fit?

BTW, I have the Performance Pack wheels.

my opinion is it's up to you, but if it were my car, i would use the 18/9.5 2010 shelby wheel with a 305/40/18 dr. if the info i looked up is right your factory tire is 27.9" tall and the 305 is 27.7, which would affect the speedo or gearing much at all. you could use a 305/35 but it's alot shorter and less side wall. i run then 305/40/18 nitto dr on my car and they have around 9000 miles and still have about half the tread left. but my gt doesn't make near as much power so that could change things. the tire will bulge a little on the 9.5" wheel but not bad and still leaves a good footprint. but id AM offers a 10.5 version that would be better. hope this helps

I put a set of FRPP 19x10 wheels on mine with MY305/35-19 which is the same height as the stock 285/35-20's and the MT's just about dead hook on the street with all the traction aids off and I can do a 30 roll in 1st gear and dead hook and go and this was is 60 degree weather. I do have the 11-12 SVTPP wheels on my car so it was a easy choice for me but you will also need to get fronts to match.
