Default tire size question

I got used pirelli slick tires for racing it is 295/680/18
would that work on stock c6 front wheel?
also would Hoosier 315/19 work on rear c6 wheel ( I have wide rear panels)

I want this setup for autocross and also not sure if having road race tire up in front and different autocross A6 slick on the back is ok?

thanks

I was also looking for Continental slicks but can't find them anywhere

No such size as a 295/680/18 and a 315/what aspect ratio/19?

C: Nominal section width expressed in mm - 295
D: Nominal external diameter expressed in mm - 680
d: Nominal rim diameter of the rim, expressed in inches - 18

the .680 is the actual height and not the height as a percentage of the diameter that you find on most tires.

I don't think the wheels are going to be able to go from a 245 to a 295. Additionally, I doubt you'd get these up to temp before your run finishes in autoX.
