18x10.5 or 18x11 Rim for A6 315-30/18
Is there anyone who tried both sizes of rims with A6 315-30/18 in the front of a C6Z?
Hoosier recommends 18x11 or wider for this tire. I happen to have 18x10.5 Speedlines around and would like to use them. Does the performance, control or wear of the tire go down significantly with the slightly narrower rim?
I'm particularly interested in hearing from someone who has tried both or knows of someone who tried both rim sizes.

I have been using 18x10.5 for 5 years with absolutely no issues.

AverageVetteNut references that the 315 is a popular size on the 18 x 10.5 for the rear of C5Zs. Some folks also run 315 on the 18 x 9.5 factory rims on the front of C6Zs for autocross (that's what I chose for my first event on my C6Z). I haven't and won't be trying the other rims sizes (can't in my selected venue - Solo Stock).

That is correct
C5 Z06 Rears on all 4 corners.
Had to do just a bit of inner fender well trimming to make the 315s fit in the front but have had no problems
