18's all around for C6
Hello All,
I am interested in getting a set of wheels for track purposes and 18's seems to have the best tire selection. I found these wheels:
The Fronts:
18x9.5 +56 offset
http://www.speedinc.com/shop-by-vehi...er-18x9-5.html
The Rears:
18x10.5 +58 offset
http://www.speedinc.com/shop-by-vehi...l#!prettyPhoto
Could this setup work for my C6? What tires size would you recommend? Or would running the rears squared be better? I'm just clueless right now on how to proceed. I've read quite a bit of threads but tires and wheels are not my specialty.
Thanks in advance!

Burning Brakes
I just went with CCW Classics, 18/11s all the way around, I had to put in a 1/8 in spacer on the front to clear the brake calipers. Hooser 315X18s all the way around, no problems with clearance at the track last weekend!!!
PS: I am running Traction Control off or I get the active traction interruption, but no rubs. See post 8 for off sets as I just received them from Andy!!!

Use this calculator to plug in your stock wheel and then the wheel you are looking to buy and it will tell you difference in fit.
Good luck with your search!
