Default Z06 Wheels

I believe Z06 wheels are 1" wider than stock C5 wheels...My question is: Can Z06 wheels be used safely w/ stock C5 G/Y run flat tires???

Yes thy can I have them on mine and I know others who have done this. Some people think they don't "look" right on the front. The front side walls stand up a little straighter, the rears are okay. If you have tires that have alot of thread left on them I wouldn't junk them for new tires. You can always change them for reg. tires when the runflats wear out. Personnally, for my use, pleasure with limited miles, I prefer the security of runflats. Go to the tires and wheels section where this has been addressed. Goodyear printed material says the fronts tires will fit wheels to 9.5 inch and the rears can go on rears to 11 inch.
