C6 wheels on my c5 convertible

I am looking at these off a c6 (18x8.5 and 19x10)for my 2000 convertible. I want to do the c6 z06 brakes in the future but will these wheels clear the brakes and if so how do they fit the 2000 c5 convertible as far as needing spacers or poke? Thanks!

Fronts will fit fine, as is. Rears will require either a 3/4" or 1" spacer for best fit. C6Z brakes will not fit under them.

Anytime, Fred. Post some pics when you get those mounted as those should look really good, on a C5.

I have these on my vert with the Firestone Firehawks. Had the car in for some rocker panel touch-ups (Corvette Connection Denver) and the shop owner said these wheels are not seen very often and they looked really nice on the C5.

USAZR1 is spot on regarding the spacers-I used a 3/4 inch hub-centric out back and a 1/8 inch plate up front.
