17" square set up for HPDE's
Hey folks, I want to run 315's all the way around on my c5 for track days. Can I just buy 4 17x 11's from an older zr1 and work out well? I know I might get a tad of rubbing in the front, but what do you all do for the 'square' set up?

You don't want to use the ZR1 offset. Find 4 17 x 11 in the Grand Sport offset and you won't have any issues. These wheels are abundant in the aftermarket but if you want to save a few pounds, for a few dollars more someone will sell you originals.

As they said - go with GS offsets. I have run 295 and 315 on the front with 17x11 (275s on 17x9.5).
With a stock height car there are no body rubbing issues. With a lowered car you will scrub in the front fender and rub on DRM brake ducts...
