Default Will a C5 Z06 Wheel fit on a C6?

Has anyone tried mounting a C5 Z06 rear wheel on a C6. The wheel is 10.5X18 with a 58MM Offset. I am wanting to go with an 18 inch wheel but I do not want to pay thousands for the rims since these will have track tires mounted on them. My concern is the internal clearance and will it have enough room for the break calliper since the offset is only 58MM.

the 18" rears stick out about 1/2 of an inch in the back. the 17s will rub the fender liner at full lock. and the 17s do not clear the Z51 brakes.

I actually use 18" c5 z06 rears all around. the fronts stick out, but you can run 315s up front and 345s out back.
