My guess is that you won't see it next year.  Maybe the year after, 
maybe not.
Remember SP classes allow alternate wheel diameters.  The Viper
has had this problem for a while now.

Maybe Chevy will wise up and offer an 18" option with the C6  Z06

The SEB making a change to accommodate one car? I certainly hope not!
Even if it is for a Corvette.
