I would not go with a smaller diameter in the rear. That is the only thing I would say about that.
In the C5 that would set off a TC problem on the DIC. Not sure about the C6 in that area.
For the track I run the stock tires front and 295/35/18 in the rear. I think Dennis runs the same thing.

275x35x18 front
275x40x18 rear.
These sizes are almost exactly the stock sizes in terms of OVERALL DIAMETER and thus there are no TC, AH, or ABS issues.

The rear is 275x40x18 Michelin Pilot Sport AS ZP.
C-5 offset rear wheel is +65mm
C-6 stock front is 58mm
rear is 79mm
This is not a track car. This combination sticks and handles more than enough for me for sprited back country driving. I used these wheels because I did not like the comp gray wheels that came on the car. Let me know if you would like me to E-mail pictures. It will at least show you how the offset and tire sizes look on the car to help you pick wheels that you want.
