Default Stock C5Z06 Wheels for the Track?

I have a couple of sets of stock C5Z06 wheels from 03 and 04 cars. I was thinking of using the stock 18-inch rear wheels at all four corners of my '04 Z06 at the track. If I do, will the stock rear wheels fit on the front, what size/make tire should I run, and what other special adjustments or equipment would I need?

Thanks so much.

people do it all the time. I think most people run 315/30 (or 35)/18's and are fine.

Thanks--no spacers or adjustments needed? Great.

Lots of people do it.

I have a 2000 FRC and have been running stock C5Z06 rear wheels on all four corners. Hoosiers 295 up front and 315 out back.

No spacers, no rubbing.

I tried 315 V710's up front and they rubbed bad, the 295's look like they will fit.

295/30's or 295/35's on the front?

I think the 18 inch only comes in 30. The tires are in my trailer so I can't tell you for sure right now.

The wheels are the OEM speedlines 18 inch x 10.5 inch.
