I understand the C6Z is widebody wheras the C6 and C5s aren't. How much do the C6z wheels stick out of wheel well? Do the fronts rub? Anyone have experience doing this? I know the reps are smaller so I'm talking OEM.
Thanks!

The fronts will have a ~1/2" poke, while the rear will be closer to 1". Doesn't look right without widebody fenders, unfortunately.

Thanks. I found some pics and they don't look too crazy, I actually like the offset look. My concern is if they'll interfere with the brake duct or rub at full lock?

Hmmm. That's a good question. I had repros on my '00 vert, and the fronts were 18" x 10". I don't recall any rubbing. Plus, lots of folks run 4 square C5 Z06 rears, so you should be ok.

I run C6Z wheels on my C5Z with 275/35R18F and 305/30R19R.

I didn't want to run a spacer in the rear so I removed the rear brake duct and there are no issues with any rubbing front or rear.

The reason I went with a 305 in the rear instead of a 325 is it helps tuck the tire tread under the fender and looks better.

My car is lowered on stock bolts.

I know a lot of people on here don't like the look of the poke but it looks better in person than in pics and I love it.

That looks phenominal! I'm looking at a used set which is 325 in the rear. Right now I'm at stock height - I shouldn't have any fender rubbing, right? I see some used 1/8" spacers to avoid brake duct rubbing, does this sound right? How fun* was it removing the brake duct - does this impeded function at all?

Removing the rear brake duct is easy. A bolt or two and you can pull them right out with some elbow grease. Otherwise you can take a bit more time and remove the fender liner and they should pop off.

If you don't remove them you will need a spacer. Not sure what size, small one though.

yes they do fit and look amazing!
