They will fit just fine. I have Z06 wheels on my '96 convertible. If you are getting new tires, it is better to get the same tire diameter from front to back, like the stock C4. Stock Z06 tires are an inch smaller diameter in front than in back. However, I have the inch diameter difference on mine (came off my C5) and haven't seen any problems. It would just be better for the traction control and active handling if the tire diameters were correct.

I put 285s on the front of mine, works great. I just bought another set, so now I'll be running OEM Z06 17s all the way around. The 18s jacked up the rear a half inch.

I knew a guy with a black SS w/gold Heritage paing job on it with the Z06 wheels It looked SHARP!

a couple of Q's...
...will the 18" diameter throw the speedo calibration off??
If you have C4/ J55 brakes will they still fit?
What tire size did they use? I use 275/40/17 up front and 315/35/17 out back.

C5 & C6 Z06 wheels will fit... I've got both, C5 for the street & C6 for auto-x tires. The 18" rears actually made my speedo closer to spot on that the orig. 17".

Are your C6 Z06 wheels OEM or aftermarket? If aftermarket, are they the exact same size and offset as OEM?
