I was wondering if there was issues with choosing 17x11 tire wheel combination on a C5.

Just guessing there may be rubbing issues in the front.

I have not come across a discussion on this issue to date. Just thinking of future projects.

Corvettes wheigh less than an F-body and have better weight distribution... so you're really asking the wrong crowd here..

but the '03 Ladies ASP champ competes here and she(Su Brude i think) runs wide tires on her Z06.... she's very fast.. she only competes against the ladies at nationals otherwise she wants to beat up on the boys


and another very fast driver here(Jim Harris) was running a '99 FRC with 315's.. he was really fast... he ran SM2 at nationals last year.. i dunno what place he came in


anyway.. we have an event this weekend and i'll get the real scoop for you...


there is definately some usefull information at the SCCA Forums... they've had many debates about what size tires can be run up front and what is best.... actually, that T1 section is probably one of the more-active portions of that site-- lots of good reading in there

just in case you don't know.. T1 is a 'stock'(very limited modifcations, mostly safety mods) racing class that is dominated by Corvettes... so those guys are the ones you want to listen to if you want to get faster on a road course
