There are pics of my 2003 Z06 with 2013 OEM Grand Sport rims. I took them off of my dads car just to see how the rims looked on my car. The rears off of his GS would not fit on my Z06 without spacers due to the rear brake cooling ducts. These are both FRONT rims that you see pictured. If you bought replicas they would fit without spacers. If you want OEM you will need a spacer, or remove the brake ducts. The tires will still stick out a bit, so widebody would be best IMO. Hope this helps
