Default Wheels and tires

I am planning on buying a set of C6 wheels for my ZO6 (C5). Does any one Know if they will fit my ZO6 without any modifications? What tires should I use with the C6 wheels if I don't want any tire rrrubing?

Thanks

I hear you will have them fit,but they will stick out front and rear due to offsets on the rims. As for rubbing ?I am sure others can tell you more. Also you rear brake ducts will become useless to fit the rears.

If they are c6 (non-Z) wheels, then they will actually be slightly tucked in the rear and closer to rubbing the inner fenderwells. You can run a small spacer to give you more piece of mind. I'd stick with the stock sizes 245/40 285/35, will be slightly taller in rear.
