Default Aftermarket C5/C6 Wheel Widths?

I know the C6Z guys are running 18x11/18x13 wheels. What are the most common widths run by C5's and base C6's, and what do you T1 guys run?

I am not sure how aftermarket and widths fit into the equation but if you are after clearance issues I can tell you that an OEM C5Z wheel will fit Wilwood SL6's but the 'aftermarket' motorsport won't without spacers. It is thicker and heavier. As far as good track setup, OEM C5Z 18" rears all the way around with 315's work very well.

They rub the fender lip on the front of mine, lowered on stock bolts.

What are the T1 guys running, and how wide are the C5Z rears?
