ZO6 wheels on C5
I bought brand new ZO6 wheels, and would like to put them on my C5. Is this advisable? is there any problems with the suspension which can be an issue? also what tires would be good for this? any advice?

If you bought the wheels in the stock C5 Z06 sizes and offsets, they will work just fine. Finding tires in the stock Z06 size may be an issue as the number of manufacturers for those sizes has decreased, but they are still out there.

The wheels I purchased where the original wheels from a 2015 ZO6, I bought from a friend, they are EOM wheels. As far as Tires I haven't yet bought the Tires, which is why I'm asking if this is advisable.

If they're C7 Z06 wheels, they won't fit correctly. Too wide. You'll have some "poke" in the front and back. (Tires and wheels sticking out past the fenders) Some like the look. Most don't.

The OEM Z06 wheels will fit fine. The only tire options the Bridgestone or Goodyear. I went with the Bridgstones and very happy with them.Think I paid around $700 at Discount Tire
