Does anyone know
I've tried searching, to no avail..
Do the C5-Z06 rear wheels (18" x 10.5") fit over the C6-Z06 front 6-piston caliper/rotor set-up?
Maybe this has been answered, but I couldn't find it.

Yes. There are a number of C6Z guys running square track set-ups with C5Z rear wheels.

Hey Marc,
You could bolt on one of my stock race wheels for a test fit, what size tire are you thinking about running on the front? And is there room?

I have 4 OE Speedline Z16 wheels, and an extra pair of 18" x 10.5" that I had intended on running (with 2" spacers) on my Z/28, but if they'll fit on the FRC also, maybe I can use them on both cars...

I'm going to run the 18" x 10.5"'s all the way around on the Z/28, and I was thinking of doing the same on the FRC..
(On the Z/28, they'll rub the inner fender-wells a little when maxed out)

Would love to run the 18s on the front would probably make me change classes. Did pick up a new pair of BFG G Force KD's yesterday for the front, can't wait to try them out!

I've answered my own question. Mounted them up today, and yeah, they clear the diameter of the caliper, but the spokes of the wheel rub the side of the caliper. So yeah, I can use them, but they will require a shim...
