Default Anyone Run 315 Front Tire on C6 Z with 11 Inch Rim

Trying to determine if a Hoosier 315 will work on the front of a C6 Z06 with an 11 inch aftermarket track wheel such as a CCW. If anyone is running this setup is there any rub, and if so, is it only at full steering lock? Any input would be appreciated.

I have a 2008 C6 z51 and I am running GS/A-mold Clones 17x11 with 315s square (I downsized to C5/Stock C6 rotors - cheap). No rubbing issues other than at FULL Lock - but NO rubbing on track. My Dad has runs CCW Classics on his 03 z06 and I have borrowed his 17x11 with 315 fronts, and 17x12 with 335 rear - also no rubbing issues. This could be very dependent on you ride height but my car is pretty low - actually thinking about raising it up a little - if I meet a dead squirrel on the road it hits the air dam. Danny Popp in Cinci corner weighted/aligned/set ride height on the car so I haven't messed with it - it drives like a champ.
