They should work unless the car is lowered to much

If you know they were specifically made for a C5/Z06...then yes.

Otherwise, not nearly enough info. Width, offset, bolt pattern?

You've got to find out more info on the wheels. I am running Imola 19/20s on my car with 245/35-19 and 285/30-20 tires and they fit just right. But, they were made for the C5.
