i am not the OP so please excuse the hijack....best would seem to be 18 x 10.5 in the front and 18 x 11 rear. these would seem to fit without having to min-tub or wide-body the car. New it is a large financial commitment.

The reason I'm asking is because Super Stock class requires stock size, but ASP allows non-stock wheel sizes.

Why would someone want CCW's in stock size for auto-x?

I have a set of those sizes and a set of 18" x 9.5" fronts and 18" x 12" rears too.

Depending on the class the OP wants to run his car in autocross competition, he needs wheels in the wider sizes or the OEM sizes. That's why I asked him what class he plans to run in.

I would need the 11" fronts and the 13" rears. Also are these new or used CCW. Thanks for replying.

315 in the front of a c6 z06 means destruction. A 305 rubs both inside and outside.

- At full lock I rub the brake duct on the inside and take some dirt of the inner front wheel well. Not destruction, but then it probably depends on wheel alignment, ride height etc.

I have 11" x 18" fronts and Hoosier 315/30-R18 rub on the outside on my C6 Z06. 295/30-R18 still rub, but just barely. I have heard others run the 315 without rub, but I have camber lock-out plates, which pushes the wheels out further than the stock adjustment cams do.

I just had my car raised a half inch in the front and will be on the track with it this week. So, I'll see if that solves the rubbing

I run 345/35-R18 on the 13" x 18" rears without any rubbing.

It's not just me! I have camber plates, too. And on my C6 non-Z 275/35r18 Toyo R888s even rub a little. The 295/30r18 rubbed a lot more, though. I'm already 5" high at the frame rail jacking points in the front. I have no idea how people are running lowered cars with C5Z 18x10.5 and Hoosier 315s on the front without ripping the fenders off!

I will be running 345 35 18 in the rear and 285 30 18 in the front. I would like to run
295 30 18 in the front if possible.

295/30/18 is really short compared to the original 275/35/18.

Right now I run rear C5Z06 wheels with 1/2" spacers and extended tip lug nuts. The combo put the effective offset at 58mm - 13mm = 45mm. I run 285-645-18 Pirelli slicks and I still rub (very minor and only sometimes) the brake ducts at full turns.

The mind boggling thing is when I run 285/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport on the stock 40mm-offset 18x9.5 with 3mm spacers. It rubs the inside (the aft notch at the top of the inner fender) and it rubs the top of the air deflector (located at the front of the wheel opening).

There are more to this but I've officially hijacked this thread. My apology to the thread owner. We should continue this somewhere else.

going back to my original question would you have the CCW 18" by 11" and 18" by 13".
sorry to be so blunt and direct. Also what model rim would it be. Thanks to everyone who has been putting there comments on this post. Great info for me.

Daniel
