Default Wheel and Tire Size?

Called CCW today, about wheels and tires and they suggested these sizes of wheels and tires for my C6 Z06 for track (HPDE's). I was interested in their C14 wheels.

Front Wheels: 18X11 with 295/30-18 Hoosier R6
Rear Wheels: 18X13 with 345/35-18 Hoosier R6

Anyone else run these size wheels and tires on their C6 Z06? Any problems or issues? Comments please!

John at CCW has provided wheels for a lot of C6's for the track. He wants you to be as fast as possible with his wheels, so you will make his wheels look good to other prospective buyers. If John tells you to go with those sizes, then you should.

I'm not sure who I talked to. Seem to know what he was talking about though. Yes, I went ahead an ordered what he suggested. When I first called I was interested in original OEM sizes for wheels and tires but went with sizes I posted earlier. I was just trying to find out what other C6's and C6 Z06's were running as far as wheel sizes and tire sizes but no replys concerning that yet.

Still curious to hear if anyone else is running this tire and wheel set up on a C6 Z06 and how does it do on the track.
