C6 H&R wheel spacers?
I just bought a 2011 base coupe and replaced my stock runflats in preparation for my first track day. I put 275/35-19 and 245/40-18 NT05's on the stock wheels. I don't like how far sunken in the wheel/tire combo looks. Has anyone used the H&R wheel spacers that bolt on to the hub and have their own studs?

Edit: There is no way the Trak spacers would work. I went and measured and it looks like I can get away with 3/8"-1/2" in front and 1/2"-5/8" in back.

this company makes great, multi-pattern spacers, from 1/8" to 2". You will need longer studs for anything more than 1/8" though

I use their spacers, billet. Call them.
I don't know the 2011 base coupe rim size, but, those tires seem small. I think you will have a handfull with your motor & weight.
I use 295x18 and 335x18 on my c5z. Stick out a LOT.
Be safe.

Same tires in the same width running the same one inch spacer. Tracked it twice now with 460 rwhp.
They stick out a little bit at rest but are fine on compression on my C5 with Magnesium wheels. YMMV.
The oil temps and subsequent blown seal were the only problems but I wouldn't run one on the front.
