If my C5Z has C6Z brake kit on it, will the C5Z speedline 18x10.5 rear wheels fit over the fronts to run 18's all around.

I would think diameter, yes (obvious)- but the offset of 63mm on a 10.5 will bring that front wheel in about 1.5" further than the stock 8.5" (inner fender rub?) Plus, I think you'll hate the 10.5 in the front. I had 9.5 and went back to 8.5 and there is much less force needed to steer with the 8.5.

Check the autocross section!

Plenty of guys running the 10.5 up front.

Im not sure if it will clear the c6z06 setup just because of the offset but its got to be close!

I am sure someone will come in with the KO
