tire and wheels choice for SSM C5Z06
I just picked up a moded C5Z06 that i will be running in the NER SCCA in SSM. I need to figure out what to do for wheels and tires. I currently have 4 17x11 Grandsport wheels(50mm offset) with 315 Hoosier A6's that I used on my camaro. Will these fit the vette?
I also have 4 18x10.5 C6 5 spoke replica wheels that have 305 toyo R888's on them that i was using as street tires on the camaro. Will these work on the C5Z06, and if they do I can get some 18 in hoosiers, but what width?
The car is coming to me with OEM 18x10.5 rear wheels and a replica front wheel in 18x9 with 315 BFG DR's on the rear and 265 BFG street tires on the front.Any help in wheel choice would be great

I've been running 315/30/18's kumho 710's on rear Z06 wheels that are 10.5 wide all around. I had to removed the brake ducts to clear under heavy braking, could've just trimed them but I tookem out. Your GS 17's might hit the swaybar under full lock, but may clear the brake ducts better. This year in going to run 295/30/18 A6's but haven't got them mounted yet.
hope it helps some.

I'm running the same CCW wheels and sizes you are. I've only run 315s in the back with 285s in the front. I do have 4 335s and I'm definitely gonna put two of them in the rear but I was curious about trying to put the other two up front. I know they'll fit on the wheels but I'm guessing they'll rub too bad up front? Have you ever tried this? And I didn't know I need to run spacers in the rear with the 335s....do they rub that bad?
