Default c6 z06 - 18x10.5 w/315's all around?

I'm thinking about running C5 Z06 rear wheels all around on the C6 Z06, in ASP, until the move to SS.

Seems the 18x10.5's will work on the front, despite the larger offset, but didn't see any posts where people had run with tires as wide as 315.

Anyone know that the 315/35 Kumho V710's on 18x10.5 C5 Z06 wheels work ok front and rear on the C6 Z06?

thanks,

I'm running the Z06 wheels up front. I have tried the 315 V710's on the front. With the spring bolts dropped, they just hit the front inner lip. didn't want to push it on the track that way so I'm using 305's on the same wheel. They work super with the 315's in the rear! Will be out at the Ranch in two weeks to burn some more rubber off.

Good luck, let me know if you can make the 315's work on the front.

Thanks for the response.

My V710's are somewhat worn, and I haven't lowered the C6Z06 yet, but not sure I want to risk that.

Under heavy cornering load, lowered or unlowered, sounds like the 315's might hit the fender?

Anybody else had actual experience?

thanks,

With 305 x 18 in front--just barley clear the front fender lip--335 x 18 in rear fit fine

Too bad the old C5Z wasn't running Hoosier A6's. Sounds like those would have fit at 305.

Am assuming the C5Z 17x9.5's won't fit either due to the C6Z's monster front brakes.
