I'm with the others - you've got a split in a CV boot. You'll definitely want to get that fixed before you put many miles on it. Otherwise you'll run an axle bearing dry and burn it up.

I don't have experience with the C6 specifically, but in general CV grease is unmistakable - thick, hard to wipe off, and almost impervious to soap and water.

The Corvette as it comes from the factory is a low as the engineers thought practicle. These automotive engineers take into account civil engineering standards, test track results, etc. Anytime you think you know more than these engineers and alter the car's ride height you are setting yourself up for problems.

CV boot is the only place you are going to get that kind of grease on your rim. The grease fittings on the Z51 wouldn't splatter onto your rims if overgreased. A spinning broken CV boot will throw it everywhere.
