I talked to the guys at OE Creations the widest one they make is a 19x10. I also talked to the guys at Wheel Replica and they didn't have anything wider either.

Good to know! I guess the 12" wide isn't in demand because of the tubbing/rubbing issue.

this. you can get the Z06 Speedline in a 18x10.5 and a 19x11. i don't think a 19" wheels is going to help my traction situation. i will probably just mini-tub the car and have some OE wheels widened. depending on cost, i may even go to a 18x13 and run a 345/30

What about drag radials. Wouldn't they get you the traction you need in the width you have. I know it won't look stock from different angles, but neither is a 13" wide tire from the rear

Even with drag radials, these cars can produce enough power to light them up even at 100mph (I've seen it.). The more rubber, the better.
