Default C6 for C5
Will wheels from a C6 model fit a C5. If not, can they be modified ( spacer etc)to fit?

The front offset is the same, the rear is diffferent.

C6 non Z06

Front 18 x 8.5, +56 mm offset
Rear 19 x 10, +79 mm offset

C5

Front 17 x 8.5 +56mm offset
Rear 18 x 9.5 + 63mm offset

The bolt pattern should be the same at 5x120mm

Hi , were the Z06 wheels you used stock GM ?? And were they 18, 19 I am in the process of trying to figure this out. I actually bought some C6 polished Non Z06 ,18/19 But am leaning toward the Z06 conversion now if It will work correctly. I figure I could sell the others pretty easy. Any pics of you set up ,Thanks for any help. Rick
