Default C6 wheels

I purchased some C6 (non Zo6) wheels for my C5 Zo6 for track wheels. From the post I read, the wheels will fit fine (I may need spacers on the rear), but what about tire sizes for track use? Thanks

What tire widths do you want to run?

Base C6 tire sizes are F 245/45/18 & R 285/35/19. The wheels are F 18x8.5 & R 19x10.

I'm running Base C6 wheels with F 255/40/18 & R 285/35/19 with 25mm rear spacers/adapters on my C5Z.
Don't think you'd want to really go wider on tires than this for the wheel widths. That said, for many 295 width tires they'll list 10" minimum wheel width.

Yes, the front wheels are 18 x 8.5 J 56, and rear are 19 x 10 JX 79. From what I have read the fronts should not be an issue at all. I do have about 5/16" spacers for the rear. I want to mount as wide as I can without rubbing anywhere.
