Default Square Track Setup for C7 Z06 (Non Z07)

Facts -
  • Cannot afford a Trailer
  • Do not have Truck and cannot afford one.
  • Have not choice but to drive to/from the track on track set up.


I know the C7 can carry 1 spare tire.

All that being said, please sure your thoughts on the perfect square wheel and tire setup for the C7 Z06. Rotating the tires and getting the most of out it is important to me.

With a baby on the way, time and funds are limited hence the question to this community.

Thank you

I don't know if you can go a square setup without sacrificing handling in some way. As you probably already know it won't be possible to increase the front tires to the same size as the rears and if you reduce the rears to the same size as the fronts the back end will be very loose.

You might get away with 18x11 wheels front and rear and running 315/30/18 tires at all 4 corners but I think the rear might be a little loose. Talk to CCW and see what they recommend. They probably have some Customers who have already tried that sizing. If you want to use the same tires/wheels on the street you may find tire selection a little limited. From what I can see the BFG G-Force Rival, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 and Pirelli P Zero Rosso are about the only ones that would do double duty.

How are you going to set your rake? I know the c6 active handling would fuss about the same size tires

The ABS and active handling systems need a staggered setup or they usually intervene inappropriately when things are fine.
