Default wheels & tires

I have a 2003 convertible. Will 2003 Zo6 wheels and tires fit and if so will it effect the steering?
Thanks
Tim

Yes they will bolt on with no issues.

For optimum performance an alignment would help, but really its not absolutely necessary if you didn't change any suspension components.

You won't have any problems putting C5 Z06 size wheels on the car. I ran a set that size on a '00 I had and never experienced any problems.

No problems. I ran them on my '99 for a while. I changed back and forth with several other sets of wheels/tires without alignments and no issues.
