I know not ideal for the real track stars out there but interested in these for stock C6 wheels and playing around. Interested in hearing from those that may have used them at one point or still do for track use and/or straight line grip while accelerating very hard out of a corner.

I use them in the rear of my GS at the track...great traction

345/30/19 and 325/30/19

Why are they not ideal for the track?? If anything they are for the track!

Most of the guys in this section run a square 18" setup.

I have a complete set of factory wheels I use as a second set after the tires on the CCW rims are shot. The rears are 19" and I run R6 exclusively on both sets of wheels. I only buy used tires and the 19" R6 are hard to come by. Right now I have a set mounted and second set waiting. They work great on the track.

I have a search saved on ebay and they email me whenever a 19" R6 comes up for sale. I've bought the last 3 sets this way. The best setup if you are buying wheels is 18" on the front and back so you can easily get used tires.

My garage looks like an episode of Hoarders with tires everywhere but I never run out! Sometimes I rush home to pull the tires off the porch thinking my wife won't notice more on the wall rack.

I run these on my 07z06... They work great. 325 or 345 no issues.
Saves buying another set of wheels and stock wheels are much cheaper and fairly light. more hard core guys will run 18"s all around 18x11 front and 18x13 rear

These tires are great! I will be running them at the next Texas Mile Event in October. Friends on mine ran them and loved them. I ran the stock GY's and was not impressed with them there.

I've been considering buying another set of wheels and R6's for the track.

Looking for opinions on running 18 square setup or 18 on the front and 19 on the back.

What sizes for the front and rear works best?

Thanks in advance.

You can run stock sizes also if you want

On a base C6 with 18x10" wheels up front and 18x11" wheels in the back you can run 295 wide and 335 wide in the rear. The 335 in the rear may touch the inside of the wheel well ever so slightly but it works great. I've run as small as 295 in the rear and as long as I have narrower in the front then it feels good.

The biggest advantage to purchasing a set of wheels that are 18" front and back is that you can run used R6 tires of a variety of sizes. If you are only going to a few track events a year and plan on buying new tires then you can use the stock 18 front and 19" rear configuration. I've probably just now after 2 years saved enough on buying used 18" tires to justify the $3500 I spent on 18" front and rear rims.

I want to sell my stock C6 Z06 rims with R6 scrubs mounted. They have a few scuffs on them. Atlanta area. Will sell cheap.

$600.

This setup won't cause problems with the ABS? The stock GS size is 275/35/18 up front?

I would like a little wider tire front and back.

rayk

Is there a real performance difference between running 18x18 or 18x19?

Thanks.

Believe it or not the 345's are the same diameter as the 325's.
(Hoosier just adds a 1 inch extension to the 325 mold)


The 295/30/18 are almost the same size as the 275/35/18's...

25.5 vs 25.3

therefore you have no problems with rubbing or ABS, traction control etc....

look for youself or call Hoosier

btw the 295's front and 345's in the rear are the widest your going to get on stock rims........

rayk

Thanks for the great info.

The 19's will weigh more and rotating mass kills power. Lighter the wheels, the better

CanadianVetster

Take the offer from above posters on stock wheels.... Only $600. If you get more serious then go 18x11front and 18x13 rear..... More performance and more $$$$$
