Looking for help choosing track tires and wheels for C6
What size tires and wheels are being used on the C6's on the track. I am going to buy a set for the track just not sure what to buy. The 19 in size limits the options and I am not sure what effect changing overall diameter will have on performance.

I've been having the same dilemma -- I've tried to find the 10.5" C5 Z06 rears that MattW_VA runs with no luck at all. The offset is a little off so I keep worrying about crunching the front fenders.
John@CCW has previously recommended 18x10+18x11 with Toyo RA-1s at 275/35r18 305/35r18 ... atleast from memory, a search in the forums will tell you for certain. http://www.ccwheel.com/

I am interested in when the tire vendors will start making Track tires to fit on the 19" rims other than the Z06 sizes. The Hoozier 325's will stick out too much and are smaller in diameter an the 315's are bigger in diameter.
Is anyone running Hooziers and if you are what sizes are you running for the rims and tires.

Hoosier 18s are 305, 315 and 335s.
The 18x275 and 18x305 would be a great combo.
I run 18x12 front with Hoosier VRL 18x305/30s aand 18x13 frear with 18x335/30s. 3/8s spacer on the studs and 3/4" fender flairs to cover the tires.

I tried the C5 Z05 wheels and they fit horribly on the rear of a C6, the back were so bad I did not even try them on the front. I did exactly what John at CCW recommended and could not be happier.The fit is perfect.
