I'm not a wheel expert but it sounds like the offsets might be different.

Search C4 wheels on a C5, that might help. Good Luck.

Does not sound like you have OEM ZR1 wheels, those have an offset of 36mm, and would stick out past fender?
So you have reps, maybe a simple 5mm spacer put between wheel and rotor would do the trick? You will have to determine yourself by looking...
