Here is our shop C7 on C5Z06 10.5" on all four corners, running Hoosier R6 315 30 18. No scrubbing issues and car performs quite well on the smaller wheel diameter.

How does a square setup affect the stability control system?

^^id be interested in that as well.

SO c5z06 wheels, the 10.5 is only the rears correct? So you are running four "rear" wheels on it?

Default C7

have just three races down with the C7
Hankook slick
Front 280 650 18
Rear 280 660 18
It worked wonderfully.
Incidentally, the C7 is awesome and very very fast.
Some C6 Z06 remained behind me ...

Very nice!

Stock brake pads and fluid? If so, how did they do? Any signs of fading or long pedal travel?

I've been running 315 Rivals on a 10.5 wheel, and have some slight rubbing issues. Not enough to give up the extra rubber, but I'm wondering what the backspacing is on your 11" wheels?

Sorry I do not know, but they work well on both 888s and the Hoosiers. No rubs any where. Perhaps CCW can tell you.

I took a look at the CCW rims to see if they have a stamped number which would provide the info, but no numbers are coded on the rims. On my Renal rims that I ran on the BMWs had that info stamped on the inside of the rims. Sorry, still do not know the info you seek.

Its not hard to measure it if you take the wheel off, and have a measuring tape. SOme info about it all over the net. Just a matter if you want to go the extra mile.

You might want to contact Finspeed and see what they use. I ordered their 18" "Z06 setup", literally what I told them, which is designed to run 315/345 w/o rubbing. I think the fronts are 18x11 and the rears are 18x13 but I'm not sure what offset they use.
