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.

that's why you need to participate in the conversations at the SCCA forums in the T1 section

the rules DO allow for 17x11 all around(at least last time that i was hanging our on those forums they did)... that does not mean that they run 17x11 all the way around... they've had this exact argument... "do the rules allow it"... SBWhite pointed it out to them where it allows it in the GRC

Hmmm, learn something new all the time. The last I'd heard on this was when we were discussing it on CorvetteForum a while back and the T1 guys were saying specifically 9.5" front and 11" rear. Oh well, it's been a while since I paid attention to it since I don't have the Z06 anymore. Like you pointed out though, I don't know of anyone that is actually running the same width all around on C5.
