Default Wheel Sizing question

Hey Forum members. Will C5 Z06 wheels fit a base model C5 without rubbing / fitment issues? If so would wheel spacers help or what are the options if any?

Reason I ask is my base model C6 has the C5 Z06 wheels on it and it scrubs the inner fender when turning. I'm getting new wheels but my dad owns a base model C5 and if there won't be any fitment or rubbing I know he would like them. (maybe a cool fathers day gift??)

They fit fine without any spacers.

I have put them on an FRC and a hatchback.

fronts should be a 17 x 9.5 if they are C5 ZO6 rims.

Thanks, I should have said I bought these off a guy who had them on his Z06 and they're what he said they were. Plus they look like the other Z06 wheels I've seen.
