Default C6 Z stock wheels on C5 Z w/ stock fenders

This is not my car, but I did come across an email that had a C5 Z for sale with C6 Z06 stock wheels on it. I think this is the best pic that shows what it would look like. I think it looks like . IMO if you were to do it, reverse the lowering procedure for stock bolts, put some MT's on it, add jeep flares, and some rim protectors. I know this question has been asked a bunch of times on the forum, so heres your results:

Looks like it needs some 24's on it. Would look a hell of a lot better if it was lowered and had the L5 fender flares on it.

Man, oh, man, yur right about the stretched tires. Kinda looks like the pregnant roller skates the teeny boppers are driving these days. Surely not even stock C5 tires. Looks like crap!

Sure don't like it sticking out of the fenders like that.

Probably just came off the jackstands reason being on the jacked up stance. Second if you put some OEM sized tires on there it wouldn't look bad at all. Those tires are way way way too narrow.
