Default Track Day tires

I severely corded the inside of one of the front Cup 2 tires on my third track day. TBD if the camber changed causing the issue. Regardless, I would like to go to Hoosiers, but need advise on wheel sizes. Hoosiers aren't available in the sizes I have, 345/25ZR21 and 275/30ZR20. A previous article recommended 18" wheels, but they would be way short and not clear the calipers.

If your car is a Z06 or eRay, you could clear the brakes, etc. using 19" wheels. Apex has great wheels tailored and fortified for track use:

19" will provide a lot more tire options for sure..
