Default Wagon Wheel Track Tire Sizes

I have a set of wagon wheels off my 1999 Vette that I want to mount track tires on. I know they are narrower than my ZO6 wheels and GS wheels. What size do most people run at the track? Will ZO6 sizes be OK?

thanks

I run 275/40/17s up front, and the next set of rear tires will be 305s, on stock wagon wheels.

The sig. photo below I'm running 275s all around (Toyo RA-1s), and the car had moderate oversteer, especially from mid-corner out. Right now I'm running 275f/315r on ZR1 repro wheels, and the car has minor understeer on corner exit.

So, I'm hoping the 305s will balance things out.

HTH, and have a good one,
Mike

I ran 305's on mine for several years. I loved the setup.

I'm running Falken Azenis RT615 on wagon wheels. 255/40-17 up front and 275/35-18 rear. Like them a lot, better than the F1 supercars I have run on Z06 wheels.
