Default Will it work

I know this questioned has been asked before but I'm looking to purchase C5Z oem wheels for the track. Will the 18" rear wheels fit over the C6Z front brakes? Another words I have a C6Z bbk mod and wondering if I run C5Z oem wheels 18"'s all around it will work.

That's a great question. Considering doing that myself, but then probably can't run 17X4's up front on drag days.

I don't have an answer for you but there is one other thing to think about, if your car is a 01 or newer and you run the same size wheels and tires on all four you might have problems with active handling/traction control. You might have to disable it.
