Default Do z51 brakes fit base c6

Was wondering if you can use Z51 brake setup with base wheels?
I'm selling a set and just want to make sure they fit base C6 wheels.

There is no difference between base and z51 wheels. Just different tires.

Default the deal

Calipers are the same... pads are more agressive, caliper mounting brackets are different to allow for slightly bigger rotors w/ holes drilled in them. that's it.

Does anyone know if the brake pads would be the same for a base model and z51 rotor. I was noticing brake pads used for my buddies base a little smaller than what I have on the z51 rotor. If anyone can chime in.
