I'm running a 345/30/19 nitto NT05-R on mine. Perfect fit. On the stock rim.

Thanks, I was kind of looking for a 16'' or 17'' wheel wide enough to mount a drag radial or slick. I haven't been able to find some yet.

16 inch wheels won't clear the brake calipers. Look for a pair of C5 Z06 front 17 inch wheels and a 275 Drag Radial.

C5 Z06 Front wheels with a 275 Drag Radial or 26'' Bias Ply will be the ideal budget setup IMO. Also, the GTO spares are supposed to be able to fit in the front if you want to use Skinnies. I have a set of GTO spares mounted with Skinnies but haven't test fit them yet.

Do you think the skinnies would fit over some stop tech brakes, if so, I'll be in Newport pretty soon, and would like to rent them for a track day.
