I found this image in another thread with C5 Z06 wheels on the rear. Does anyone know if an 18x9.5 with 56mm offset will fit on the front of a C7 z51? I have a set of 18" c6z replica wheels in c5z offsets that I want to try on my C7. Just curious if anyone has tried it before I go swap out 8 wheels.

Specifically, this is the set of wheels I want to put on my C7.

I test fitted an 18 x9.5 with a 57mm offset (c5) and it cleared the brakes just fine on my z51 car. No tire was on the car, but the issue is brake clearance. a 275 tire should be just fine.

Les Schwab said 18" Cray wheels would fit on the front (c7 Z51)
Didn't clear the brakes. Les Schwab was great and replaced them with 19" wheels & tires for free.

There's a thread on here somewhere from someone who mounted OEM C7 18" rims on the front of the Z51. The problem wasn't brake clearance, but interference with the brake ducts, which he had to modify.

Whether that will be an issue with the C6 wheels and tires I don't know.

Thanks for all the replies. I will test fit on Friday and report back with pics.

i have been playing with fitments longer than i want to think about, in your case looking from inside wheel (backside) as long as the spokes are curved out away from you( NOT FLAT SPOKES) you will be fine. f.y.i. my first c7 was a base car and aftermarket c5 zo6 wheels 17x9.5 with spokes curved toward outside of wheel worked( you cant see the curve pretty side, you have to look inside) then i had 4 c5 zo6 rear aftermarket 18x10.5 and only two fit the car in front/back. why? two of the wheels had flat spokes looking from inside.

It's not the ducts, it's the deflectors that rub away a little with 18 on z51 , here is a pic of them rubbed down and one of my fix on new car(took them off)
