Default C5 Z06 sized rear wheels on a C6 Z51

I am looking at getting the TSW Nurburgring wheels in 18x9.5 for the fronts and 18x10.5 (56mm) for the rears so I can run the Toyo R888's on my C6 Z51. They are TPMS compatible, so I won't have any issues with the limp mode.

Anyone else doing this on the Z51? I want to order these ASAP. Thanks for the help. Pics too, if you have any.

I retired and sold the car. This is what I ran on my C6 Z51 ... sounds like you want the same thing.

Pretty much - the fronts are specific to the C6 Z51 - so the rears worked fine? I just want to make sure before I plunk down some coin. Mamasan would be really PO'ed at me if that were the case and it wouldn't fit on the car and be able to drive it on the street as well.

No actually they didn't work at all and it trashed my car ...
