Default trying to run C5 Z06 w/315 Hoosiers Square....

On a C6 Z06 trying to build a budget wheel/tire combo. got some hoosier R6 scrubs 315s all the way around and trying to complete a set of the OEM c5 z06 wheel. Any issues? Any people with this experience?

I NEED ONE MORE REAR any one have one?

Call me if you do and please send pic. Thank you

Next I believe I should be OK in the front in regards to rubbing etc?

I have a set of stk C6 Z06 wheels that I was considering putting 295 Fr and 345s rear but the USED tire supply just wasnt there. Any one know of any hookups? Thank you

You can't go bigger than the 315/ 335 Hoosier profile in the rear of a C5. The 345 hoosier is 1/2 inch taller and you'll crack a fender when you go over a transition. 295's are fine for the front. 315 can have rubbing issues, if you have the front lowered or especially if you have LG brake coolers. Mine is set 1" lower in the front and I put 2 layers of gorrilla tape on my cooler inner hose housing, as it just slightly rubs and I replace the tape every race.

I use 295s up front and 315s in back.

They work fine on a C6Z06, but look really funny. They sit far inward. You'll likely have some minor scrubbing on the inside, but tons of space on the outside. Also I had a TINY amount of rubbing with Alcoas on the front calipers. A 3mm spacer will work with OEM studs, and give you clearance. This may or may not be a problem on your car.

David- THANK YOU I was sweating it and it was holding me up!! Trying to make a track day and all sorts of stuff in the way. I imagine a 5/16 spacer should be good then
Neil- Thank you but the vette shop has no Z06 wheels. I just bought another set today.
