Tried a search with no luck so this seems to be the best place!

I want to get an extra set of rear wheels for a drag radial set up to save my cup 2s when I'm doing straight line races and hopefully hook better too.

I don't care about matching out anything like that, I just wanted the smallest diameter wheel I can run on the back of a 350r and clear the brakes? I want as much side walk as possible. Still keeping the stock wheels upfront so no concern about fitment there. If you have a set up like this please share what you're running.

I would imagine an 18” as the rear brakes are still fairly large. Fathouse is using, what looks to be, 17” wheels on one of their drag cars. Upon looking a little closer, they had swapped the rear brakes to pp1 brakes. You could probably call some companies that make wheels for drag racing applications and get their opinions. If you’re willing to shell out the duckets, someone will make a wheel that fits your needs

I’ve found a lot of options in 18” to fit the front PP brakes on my 17 GT, they should work fine on your 350r rear brakes.
