Help me choose which wheels / tires to use...
I have several sets of wheels and tires for Auto-X and need to pare down the collection. Here are my options...
1) All four wheels are OEM C5 Z06 rears (18x10.5) with Kumho V710 315/30/18
2) All four wheels are OEM C4 Rear Grandsports (17x11) with Kumho V710 315/35/17
3) All four wheels are OEM C4 Rear Grandsports (17x11) with Kumho V710 335/35/17.
Let me know which you would use and why?

Assuming the V710 is 315/35-18 since I didn't think they came in 315/30-18.......I would use some combination of the 17s, probably starting with 315F and 335R. Why? Tires are cheaper, and you'd get a little mechanical advantage with the shorter 17s

I think you're right. The 18s are Hoosiers but will be changed to Kumhos. I assumed they came in the same size.
