Widest front wheels on C6Z?
I'm looking for racing applications. Can you fit 11" wide wheels in front? I'd love to do a 305 front 325 rear setup in Nitto NT-01s. Thanks!

I ran CCW C14's at 18x11 on the front of my car.

11" with 300's on front shouldn't be a problem if they have the correct offset.
Running both C10 and C14's.
Check the clearance at your brake ducting when at full lock.

As mentioned above, 11" front and 13" rear is no issue. I run 315 up front on a 11" wheel, but we have a couple local cars running a 335 up front with a 11.5" or 12" wheel. The only interference issue is at full lock.

Is there truth to the rumor that running similar diameter tires front and rear creates issues for the traction control/ABS systems? If so, is there a work-around? I'd love to go 335's front and rear on my car. Also, does anyone have the correct backspacing for doing this? 18x12.5 is probable rim size I'd like to go with.
Thanks,
Mark

"I run same diameter slicks on the track, roughly 25.5" dia. No problems at all.
300 or 305 on front, and 335 on rear."
Cool! I assume this is with the traction system in "Competition Mode" though, right? I will need to run my car on the street as well as the track so will be running with traction control "on" as well. Thanks for the input! Car is new to me so still learning what it can tolerate and what it can't.
