Default Are the 17x9.5 & 18x10.5 stock for 2000 Vette?

I have a C5 with wagon wheels and will replace for the OEM 2000 C5, the question is that I just bought on Ebay a set that the seller say are OEM and the sizes are Rear 18x10.5 and front 17x9.5, the question is if those are stock sizes too because I tought that the stock sizes are 17x8.5 ans 18x9.5....

Im not sure the sizes of my wheels but the tires have only 4k miles on them so I want to keep them but i dont know if they will fit or will see not good on the new wheels.

I hope someone would answer me this..

Those are O.E.M. Z06 sizes - the regular coupe and convertible were one inch narrower.

If you are running a 245-45x17 in front - the 9.5" wide wheel will be too wide. The back 275-40x18 will work, though it's not optimal.

The Z06 ran a 265-40x17 in front on the 9.5" wide wheel and a 295-35x18 on the 10.5" wheel.

The seller said that those the sizes and 100%original, no replicas.. and are the 2000 C5´s not Z06´s

The car I will buy I dont know exact sizes but my today´s Vette has

255-40 R17
