Default 18x10.5 Z06 wheels or 17x11 ZR1 wheels?

Which would be the better AX combo? I'm thinking 18x10.5. Will those work on the front of the vette? whats the widest tire i can put up there?

Will the 17x11 ZR1's even fit on the front? maybe with a 315?

Depends on the size and offset. I just tried fitting my 315/35/18's on 10.5 Z rims and they didn't fit my stock ride height C5..

I have been running 17 x 11 GS wheels front and rear for most of the season with no problems.
