Yes or you can run 285's all around like 1LE. But the ZL1 suspension has been tuned for the factory staggered tire sizes.

I have aftermarket wheels for the road course that I run 285/35-20 square which have a compromise offset of +30mm. Stock fronts are +23 and stock backs are +37. They seem to work great! I can rotate them front to rear only since the tires are directional but it helps!

How can you rotate with the wheels are 10" and 11" wide?

Has anyone tried fitting the 305s up front on the stock wheels to create a semi square setup that way? Have looked a few times and not found anything mentioning it.

Pretty sure that people have run into fitment issues with this - the tire rubs on the strut. I don't think it'll work.

Right to left and left to right.

Actually, if you dismount the tire on the rim you can rotate left to right. I do this because my dominant tract direction wears the tires on the right side of the car a lot faster than the left.
