Default Will Z06 wheels fit a C4?

I have seen a lot of wheels that resemble Z06 wheels on C4s but they end up being 17X9.5 all around. Will the 18X10.5's fit on the rear of a C4? Why don't we see more of this?

They do not fit without a spacer plate.

I've got 18x10.5 all around on my '90. With over a degree of negative camber on the rear, the tire would touch the inner fender liner on big bumps. With about 0.75 degrees, it fits fine!

I've got stock sized Z06 wheels on my car and they fit w/o any problems. You will only need spacers if trying to mount them onto a 84-87.

So on a 96, no problems if I keep the camber under 1 degree? That's with 295s?

I don't know what my camber is set to as I've never had the car aligned, but I get no rubbing with 295s out back. You can always add a 1/4" spacer if you get some light rubbing.
