Otherwise your closest good bet is a square 295/30-19 setup with RE-71R or 295/305 setup with Toyo R888R. If you were going Hoosier R7's, then 295/30-19 and 315/30-19 just barely fits.

I'm a fan of mr965's recommendation with NT-01's in 305/30-19 and 325/30-19, but those will obviously poke just like the same size Supercar 3R's on the ZL1 1LE.
I run the supercar 3 on 20's now and really like them, so I want something as sticky or better for a road course.

I thought the 19s would bring better choices, but I'm not sure based on what I'm finding.

I think the 305/325 needs mods to fit and I'm not looking for that. Poke not a big issue, as these will be mostly track use. Maybe a drive to/from track. I think their were mods necessary to avoid rub? A mention of a pulled rear fender mod? I'm running Eibach Pro Springs, which lowered about an inch.

Based on my limited experience, I am probably biased towards the NT01 over the R888. Any input on the Hoosiers?
