Height and width for slicks

To start always the info on the car. It's 95 z28 with a A4 and as for aftermarket it's got CAI, LT headers, magnaflow Cat-back, b&m shift kit, transcooler, and 3.73 gears. So as the title states I'm looking to see what you guys think would be the best height and with for a slicks. And what kind of different brands you guys would recommend. *I'd like to use my stock wheels if possible. Also this will be my second time taking the car to the track. The first time it was completely stock and it ran 14.4 what kind of numbers have you guys got after bolt ons?

MT et Street drag radials or Hoosier drag radials in your stock size will do the job well.

Re: Height and width for slicks

If this car will have these tires mounted all the time and it is driven quite a bit, I'd recommend a Nitto 555r. They offer far more traction than your lightly modded car will need and if you get caught in the rain, they work a LOT better than mickey thompson ET streets.

I don't plan on having the tires on all the time. Just something for when I do go to the track.
