Default Anyone run 315 & 335 x 30 x 18 Hoosier R6 ?

On a C5 or C6? I have some but never had a chance to use them. Just curious as I work on the car. Front is fairly tight on the front.

Thanks John on one of my threads!

Yes, I've have run this combination many times on a C5 Z06 with CCW Classics. I have DRM brake coolers and they will just touch in the front. Use a 1/8" spacer and you'll be fine. Rear fits with using 15/16" H & S Adapters with 8 3/4 backspace on the 18x12 CCW's. They stick out 2 inches. A real problem for areo, and if there is a hard track transition can crack stock outer fender. I got L5 fenders with a flare now and no problems on the fit.

The front R6's were supposed to be the same size as GY slicks I use to run the way they were listed by the two companies. Hoosier was a tad bigger and it made a difference. When I turned the wheel it hits one of the bolt heads on my ACP front. I need to get rid of the head of the bolt with a flush mount fastener. It is so close I have .750" spacer to clear the WW SL-6 brakes with the CCW classics I also run. I did raise and open the fender wells by cutting to clear the GY slicks.

Probably near 1600 for a set of tires to my door now
