I'm running C6 Z06 brakes and I wish I had done what you did and asked first. These brakes have larger calipers than the other big brake kits so you have to worry about more than just the diameter. Even the offset is going to need to vary slightly based on the spoke design. I had a set of 18/19 HRE 540's, these didn't fit the front because of the reverse lip. Then I got a set of 19/19 MRR's and they didn't fit the back because of the concave in the rear and the spoke design. Now I have a set of 19/19 BC Forged HB05's and they fit perfectly. Work with Need4Speed and they will get you a set that fit within your budget.

ccw 505a's... I had to lose an inch of lip on each wheel in order for them to clear so they are 1" front and 2" rear lips as opposed to the standard 2" front 3" rear lips... they don't look as nice as the deeper lipped ccw's in my opinion but still pretty nice... this will also apply to some of the other deep lip ccw's such as the sp500
