18x10.5 Z06 wheels up front?
Looking at buying a set of OEM Z06 wheels for autocrossing - they are (4) 18x10.5 rear Z06 wheels. Can you run the 18x10.5 up front? Is this setup ok or less than optimal? How bad do they kick up rocks onto the paint/car due to sticking out?
Any thoughts/oppinions would be greatly appreciated!

Nice setup, I'm running 305x30 on the same wheels up front. Work super even with the car dropped with the bolts. The stick out just a small amount, not enough to worry about.
Do it!

I run Z06 rears on all 4 corners for autocrossing with 305/30's. No problem with rocks at all. Great handling but they can rub control arms at full lock.
This set up allows you to rotate your tires and get max use.
Go for it!

On Z06 wheel or a CCW?
