2018 Camaro ZL1 on WELD 18x5 Fronts with 17x10 and 15x10 Rear Beadlocks

The 2018 Camaro ZL1 is already a serious performance car from the factory, but the right drag wheel and tire setup can make it look even more aggressive while giving it the stance and function needed for serious track use. With factory supercharged power, wide body lines, and a performance-focused chassis, the ZL1 is a perfect platform for a proper WELD drag setup.

Our customer Scott has his 2018 Camaro ZL1 sitting on WELD Racing RT-S S71 drag wheels, with an 18x5 front wheel setup and multiple rear options, including 17x10 rear beadlocks and 15x10 rear beadlocks. His 15-inch rear setup is paired with Mickey Thompson P275/60R15 ET Street Radial Pro tires, giving the car a very serious rear drag package.

This setup gives Scott’s ZL1 the kind of aggressive, track-ready appearance that looks right at home on a high-horsepower Gen 6 Camaro.

A Serious Drag Setup for the Gen 6 Camaro ZL1

The Gen 6 Camaro ZL1 is already built with performance in mind, but adding the right wheel and tire package gives the car a much more purposeful look. Scott’s setup leans fully into the drag racing side of the platform.

The 18x5 WELD RT-S S71 front wheels give the front of the car a lightweight, aggressive front-runner appearance. In the rear, Scott has the option of running 17x10 beadlock wheels or stepping into a more dedicated 15x10 beadlock setup.

The 15-inch rear wheel paired with the Mickey Thompson P275/60R15 ET Street Radial Pro gives the car the taller sidewall and drag-focused rear tire profile many racers are looking for. Combined with the black WELD RT-S S71 wheel design, the result is a clean but serious setup that makes the ZL1 look ready for the strip.

This is a great example of how a Camaro ZL1 can be set up with different rear wheel options depending on the goal, whether that is a 17-inch rear drag setup or a more aggressive 15-inch rear beadlock package.
