Will Z06 Wheels fit on my 2003 AE. It now has its original wheels with Michelin Pilot Sports. I am looking at deep dish chrome. Any info I need to know before purchasing?

Yes, C5 Z06 will fit. Actually C6 Z06 will fit, but the offset is different on the C6 wheels.

However I question that C6Z06 wheels will fit, especially the rears which are 12" wide, without a significant sized spacer or a mini tub and will then stick out well beyond the fenders. Base C6 wheels will fit but remember they are 18 and 19 and not the C5 stock 17 and 18. You will need new tires to use C6 wheels.
I agree that is way I specified that the offset is different, but they will fit.

I have them on my '01 in 17" and 18" stock sizes from Corvettes of Houston. They carry them in the correct offsets for C5's. They also send center caps, lugs and locks. Remounted my original tires on them and have no fitment problems at all.

C5 Z06 wheels will fit perfectly and look great, especially if you put wider tires on them like on the Z06.
