Your best bet would be to get a set of 18s for track use... You have a lot more options in that size.

I googled this and that's what I found also. Supposedly on the Vette forums they said that Nitto would be making sizes for the 19s and 20s .... But I can't seem to find a source that sells them.. Anyone else care to chime in?

What about the stock infiniti double spoke G35 wheels. Will that work? What size tire will do if I run that setup with my 20mm spacer and keep the fronts the stock 19 sports just for the track ?

Those G35 wheels are still 19". Those won't work.

If you have a Base model, I'd suggest finding some 17" wheels. If you have sport brakes, I just bought a set of 18" x 10" Saleen replica wheels. You can find them brand new for about $150/wheel.

Are they forged? My buddy has an '01 vette. We're talking about getting a set of slicks for his stock rears if those will work

I'm not sure what you are referring too. The stock 18s and the Saleen replica wheels are not forged. They are also a different bolt pattern than what's used on a Corvette, so they wont fit on a Corvette.
