OEM C6 Z06 Wheels
Anybody running OEM C6 Z06 wheels 18x9.5 front and 19x12 rear on their C5? If so, how do they look? What tire and size are you using? Would love to see some pics as well as any comments regarding fitment issues.

Here's a thread from a few years back, guy installed OEM wheels without spacers or rear flared fenders, hope this helps!

I just put a set on my Z06.
I like the look. They do poke a bit front and rear. Maybe 1/8 inch front and a little more than 1/4 inch rear, I haven't measured.
I'm lowered on stock bolts and am running a stock alignment. I am going Tuesday to get a slightly more aggressive alignment with a little more negative camber which I'm sure will only make it look better.
I'm not running any spacers so I had to remove the rear brake ducts as they would have rubbed otherwise.
I'm running Michelin PS4S in a 275/35R18 F and 305/30R19 R. I went with the 305 in the rear vs a 325 because it tucks the top of the tread under the wheel well. All the pics I saw of 325s didn't look quite as good.

Thanks everyone....much appreciated. Does anyone have a reference for wheel suppliers that have the C6-Z06 style wheel for the C5? Want good quality wheels that are strong and durable will take the sometimes hard hit's these cars provide? Not like I'm off-roading or anything like that, but some roads leave a bit to be desired for our cars.
