Default C6 rims on C5 vette

I am sure this has been answered somewhere, but I could not find it. Are the C6 rims a direct bolt on for the C5?

And since the C6 ZO6 rims are wider, are they also a direct bolt on to the C5?

Thanks, Bob

wrong offsets on stock wheels.

I don't think the stock C6 rims look right on a c5 because of the offset differential.

C6 Wheels to far inset from fenders.
C6 Z06 wheels stick too far out.

Not sure about O.E.M., but aftermarket has plenty. Just finished putting 06 Z06 wheels w/Goodyear GS-D3's on my 00 C-5 today. Stock wheel offset is 54 front - 65 rear, these are 56 front & rear, but 9 mm is only a little over .2 of an inch. You can not tell the difference

I love the way they look
