My friend runs a 315/35/17 on his stock C5 Z06 front wheels. Just a little rubbing on the back side of the fender liner. I don't see any problem with your size.

What are you doing with the car? Why do you want to go with a 315 on a 9.5 inch wheel? It won't improve performance over sizing a tire on a wheel like that. Get a better compound tire in the correct size for your wheel to get the best performance. R-compound tires work very well.

Without back to back runs, I can't say for sure it was faster or slower. Were already running the best tires made for autocross. Hoosiers A6's. Were also going to try 335/30/18 on the rear rims. 18x10.5. I know if we could run wider wheels, that would be better, but I just don't see a downside at this point.
