While our stockers are 20" X 11",

I would think the 11: wide tire would hook better than a 9-1/2" wheel and tire.
That is correct as these are the wheels I use. Z06 replica front 18" 40mm offset that are 9.5" wide. I use 305/35-18 that are 26.2" tall. No problem with traction control or stabilitrak except when you drive the first mile or 2 with them...the stabilitrak activates some then it stops as the car "learns". I turn off everything for track runs. Z06 replicas are way cheaper than any 10" or 11" solution...at least they were when I was looking over a year ago. Use Mickey Thompson drag radials for sure...M&H is very good also. Nittos of any variety are a step down with respect to track traction.
