15's will work if you grind a little of the face and top of the pbr caliper.......nitrousjunkie is using 15 inch welds with d5 hoosiers.

thanx i,ll try to get ahold of him. But better also get an extra set of stub axels and 1/2 shafts for the strip too .Too bad no one makes a bolt in ford 9in solid axel rear for us. ?

CenterLine Champ 500's won't fit. Weld DragLite 15x10's will fit with a .18 inch spacer to avoid rubbing on the caliper.

Be carefull if you go larger then a 26" tall slick if you choose to not grind the caliper and use a spacer unless you are a good fiberglass repair man!!!

M&H makes a 26" tall by 12" wide slick that works just fine with the DragLites. The slicks do hang out of the wheelwells but don't rub.

The reason I say that is that the ZR-1 was never designed to be a drag car and making it so takes away from what the car originally was. You'd be better off with another platform to make a drag car. Less reenginering needed
