A Clean Rear Drag Setup for the C8 Z51

The C8 Corvette has a completely different presence than previous Corvette generations. With the engine moved behind the driver and a wide rear profile from the factory, rear wheel fitment plays a major role in how the car looks.

Joe’s setup takes full advantage of that. The 18x12 WELD Ventura 5 Beadlock Drag wheels fill out the rear of the car and give it a much more purposeful stance. The beadlock design adds a track-focused appearance, while the gloss black finish with milled spokes keeps the look clean and sharp.

The Paragon lowering springs help complete the setup by reducing the factory wheel gap and giving the car a more planted look. The end result is a C8 Z51 that looks aggressive, balanced, and ready for serious performance.
