question about drag radials on 18"s

I got a set of stock SS/SC rims sitting in my Attic. We were going to use them for our car club and have a bunch of guys throw money twords drag radials and just have everyone use them for the track.

I know **** about tires, and I know drag radials for 18"s are hard to find. Anyone know where I can find some nice track tires for those 18's?

I plan on just getting spacers^ but its not just for me so... bump

And the 5 star on these 18's are actually pretty thin. We put these rims next to my other buddys ss/sc rims and for some reason the 5 stars on them are just thinner then the other ones. its weird. I dont think ill have too much of a problem with the brembos with these and a small spacer


But these are good? Nitto NT01 315/30ZR-18 Competition Tire

The '05 and '06 wheels are different than the '07 SS/SC wheels. The '07's have thicker spokes and a different lip.
