Default Question about tire/wheel size C7

Does anyone know the tire and wheel size for the new C7? I am wondering if it will take wheels and tires from a Z06 or ZR1 on the new C7 body?
Thanks

Z06/ZR1 wheels and tires are not likely to fit based on sizing and offset. Base C6 wheel and tire packages will likely fit.

As follows:

Non Z51 coupe and convertible

Wheels 18" x 8.5" (45.7 cm x 21.6 cm), front and 19" x 10.0 " (48.3 cm x 25.4 cm), rear

Tires P245/40R18 front and P285/35R19 rear

Z51 coupe and convertible:

Wheels 19" x 8.5" (48.3 cm x 21.6 cm) front and 20" x 10" (50.8 cm x 25.4 cm) rear.

Tires ) P245/35ZR19 front and P285/30ZR20 rear.

Now if we can just get the exact offsets. So far we've heard that they are "about the same" as C6. The track is an inch wider but maybe thats in the new control arms or frame differences. Once we know the exact offsets we can calculate if our favorite wheels for C6s might sit a bit farther inward (bad) or a bit farther out (good). Its unlikely that Z06/GS rear wheels would fit but depending on offset and inboard space who knows at this point...
