I was contemplating always running drag radials, since I only drive this car in the summer and its not my daily. Anyone have any pics of there setups with 16",17" or 18" drag radials, preferably CCW wheels

You'd be better off on Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2 and have your ride look legit. Save the drag radials for the strip.

I believe so due to the size of the caliper. Are you looking for a drag setup?

Talk to John at CCW (I believe that was his name) and tell him that you want the E55 drag pack set up and he will set you up with 18" skinnies and 16" out back.

They can custimize whatever you want. Last time I talked with them they can even do them in black but of course at a cost.

This is from my experience. I ran DR's for years on my SS. One thing I will note, do not drive in the rain. They hydroplane. I learned this the hard way.
