my used pair of Mickey Thompson ET streets 305 18 35 are on 9.5" front C6 offset Z06 repro chrome wheels, they need about 1/4" spacer for the back. They will hold your 500hp. I am selling them cause they wont hold the 801hp I have. I went forged 402 w SC.
IMO the stock width 8.5 wheels would be too narrow. here are some pics of them on the wheels.

I will take them off the wheels if you are interested in them

I have used Nitto NT555-R "drag radial" 305-35-18 on my old 2003 Procharged Mach1 and it's a great street tire. I was putting down 444 at the tires if that helps
