ZL1 1LE 18" 325 square setup?

anyone running something similar? Do 18s fit over the 6piston brakes? What am i looking at in terms of drivability? Any opinions?

I don’t think a 325 would fit square (on all 4 corners) certainly not in the front. I’m thinking widest would be 305 in the front.

an ungodly amount of groove steer, with tires that wide in the front.

why would you want to go that wide up front? to mitigate understeer? are you experiencing some behavior in the car at the limit that would suggest you require a wider tire up front? Have you exhausted all camber/toe/height/swaybar options to dial out your issue?

I meant a 315 square setup. I was aiming at a thinner rear setup. And wondered subsequently if 315s up front would even be possible. I was wondering what it would do with the suggested track settings. I'm wondering for economic reasons to see if it would be worth it to go square performance wise that would make saving money on tires worth it. Would 18s fit around the brakes?

There is defiantly room for a 315 up front, I have room with the stock 305's even with 3* of camber. I'm kind of planning on a 325 and 345 Hoosier A7 set once the stock goodyears are gone for autocross

325 fronts (325 PSC2 in my case) rub on the lower spring mount on OE ZL1 1LE wheels.

I run 325 square . front tire is very close to the spring perch but it does clear no rubbing.. My front is also set all the way low and I run -3 camber up front. If it were to rub you could pull a little camber out at the spindle. (FYI) If you don't have ZL1 1LE front struts i dont think it will work the spring perch is smaller

Also i haven't seen anyone fit 18's up front

-3.25 front camber is where I was getting rub. Lowered front, not all the way down.
