Default Wheel question?

I have an 04 Z06 and I am looking at a set of C6 Zo6 stock wheels 18X9.5 17X8.5 How well would they bolt on my car? any issues at all?
The wheels are for sale on this web site and are comp grey repro's. I would get them powder coated black.

Thanks in advance,

Stock '06 Z06 wheels I believe are 18" front and 19" rear the sizes that you quote are not as wide as your stock '04 wheels!

If they are reproductions, then they're not stock (OEM) wheels. I assume they are styled ala C6 Z06 wheels, but are C5 coupe/vert sized? If so you would have narrower wheels than your present C5 Z06 wheels. Doesn't make sense to me, but assuming the offsets were correct, you could use them.

Why would you want to go with wheels in the stock C5 widths rather than the Z06 widths? I'd at least go with 17x9.5 and 18x10.5.
