Anyone upgrade C7 Z51 with Z06 brakes WITH C5 Z06 wheels?

So I am thinking of upgrading my brakes to Z06 on my C7 but I currently use the 18" C5 Z06 wheels on all 4 corners 18x10.5. I don't want to change brakes and then not be able to fit my wheels. Thanks!

Find a friend (member) shop that has a C7 Z06, bring a wheel over and check the backing fit and caliper clearance.

Wow, I can't believe I didn't think about that! lol. I just figured someone here had done it already and just knew. Now I have to ask for my area.
Thanks, Mark!

Yes, they did fit. Just need a 5 mm spacer up front. It is tight to the inside of the wheel, maybe 5 mm clearance, but it does fit.
