Square setup for Base C6 Z51 possible?
I'd like to know if there's a square wheel setup possible for a Base C6 with Z51 available that would be good for track use? I plan on using R tires, like Toyo R888 or maybe something like that. Possibly A6 in the future, but at first it would be R's with thread so that I can drive to the track which is 1 hour drive. Eventually I'll have a trailer for the tires.
If I can't fit a square setup, I'll keep a staggered setup.

Square will work if you're not lowered. If you're lowered you will hit the body at all four corners during compression. I had a 18" C5Z setup and had to sell because I'm lowered and was tearing up my body panels anytime I hit a dip at speed.

You could always get a tire trailer and just run the square setup on track only if you are worried about that sort of stuff.

You must have been slammed and with very soft suspension. Granted I have a race car on coilovers, but my car is VERY low, and with a little trimming of the front fenders I'd assume the 18's would clear just fine.

raise that car up a little, you'll benefit with better compliance in those shocks, better geometry and you will not rub
