Default C6 Z06 Tire and Wheel Set up for AutoX and Track Days-Need Some Advice

I currently have Hooiser A6's mounted on the factory polished wheels running stock sizes(275/35R18-325/30R19) that i used last year for a hand full of autox and 1 track day at Hastings Nebraska.
I plan on running about 10-12 autox and 1 for sure maybe 2 track days. I plan on running the Hooiser A6 setup for autox but not sure what to do for the track days. I am leaning towards the Hooiser R6's and just swapping out tires when i need to. I work at a tire store so no big deal dismounting and mounting them when i need to.
Is there a different combo out there say in a 17/18 inch size or 18/18 inch size that will fit and still get the job gone on a C6 Z06? I have access to Toyo and Bridgestone so it would be nice to use one of them. I run Bridgestone Run Flats on stock chromes for street use.
Any ideas???

I'd run 18x10 front and rear or 18x11 rear. Watch your height ratio so you don't freak out the computer. I run c5 z06 rears up front on my c6 and widened c5 z06 rears on the back with no issues. 275 or 285 front, 295 to 305 rear.

A lot of people just use the A6s on the track. They do very well.
