Default B Street FRC

Is it legal to run a factory rear wheel on the front of a C5 Corvette and remain in Street Class?

Only if it's the same width as the original front. Like running a rear base C5 wheel on the front of a C5Z. Can't run the 18x9.5 on the front of a base car (FRC).

Certainly the easy way to go with the wheels; just curious on what tire you're considering running?

I'm going to start the season on BFG Rivals 255/40/17 front 275/35/18 rear. I stumbled into a deal on four of the 275 . also waiting on delivery from your rack on the 255.

Hope ya didn't pull the trigger just yet on those BFG's, since some interesting news seems to be brewing about the new Bridgestone.

Well it just a little too late to halt the BFG train. I looked at the 2014 Solo National results and that was won by Hankook. But then I came across the set of 4 275 BFGs for a deal.So getting back into autox I decided to go with what I knew from years ago. BFG. I believe that someone may be willing to buy this set if I'm not happy with my decision. I don't have to live with this decision forever. Good bad or indifferent.
