C5 z06 with c6 wheels?
I have a c5 z06 and just got some c6 z06 wheels I want to switch out, when I bought them I was told I would need to shave down a peice of the underside, or the wheels would stick out a little, my first question is what would it require specifically for these wheels to fit and my second is what's the issue with the wheels protruding a little anyway. Information would be much apreciated, thanks

Here are the C5 and C6 OEM Wheel specs:
Backspace/offset dimensions are as follows:
C5 (coupe/vert):
Front 17x8.5", 58mm offset = 7.03" backspace
Rear 18x9.5" 65mm offset = 7.81" backspace
C5 Z06:
Front 17x9.5", 54mm offset = 7.38" backspace
Rear 18x10.5", 58mm offset = 8.03" backspace
C6 (coupe/vert):
Front 18x8.5", 56mm offset = 7.45" backspace
Rear 19x10", 79mm offset = 8.61" backspace
C6 Z06:
Front 18x9.5", 40mm offset = 7.22" backspace
Rear 19x12", 59mm offset = 8.82" backspace
C5 and C6 wheel circle:
5 on 4.75" (120.65MM)
And an offset calculator that you can use to figure out if the wheels will fit once you have the specs for the new wheels:
