Please clarify if you mean for a road course or a dragstrip. You will get better answers.

Stock wheels are a good idea for the road course..

I'm going to use my Iforged in the front and the stock wheels with MT E/T's in the rear for the road course and drag strip.

Anybody use 18's all the way around on the road course??
I'll have INVO's in the front and MT E/T's in the rear...

YES 18" all around are the most used. CCW Classics or Corsairs are the most popular aftermarket wheels

Using the stock Rear Z06 wheels on all four corners is widely used as well.

dont thing MT E/Ts will work very well on a road course. Road course have more corners then straights.
