C6 is a general term. Yes and no.

Not without spacers. Z06 wheels stick way out.

Or you can get replicas in C5 sizes. That's what I did.

I do believe the front C6 wheels will work just fine, but I think the rear wheels have a much different offset that spacers would be required.

I bought a set of these, only the ones pictured here are replicas. The ones I bought are OEM wheels.

I'm told the front ones bolt right on, but adaptors are required for the rears...

That's where I got mine from no adapters needed on mine.
They are located not for from me in Sarasota but have great deals on Amazon.

Then I'm guessing these replicas have a different offset than OEM wheels because everyone I've talked to said the rear OEMs require spacers...
