Default c7 wheels

am thinking about putting C7 z or z51 wheels on my c5 z, but i need clearance for the C6z brakes on the car.
I m sure this has been done many times, but haven t found anything yet. have seen ots put them on but not with c6 z brakes.
Can anyone confrim that these will fit and spacers required, and rubber you burning, if you don t mind.
TIA

Probably won't get many answers as not many stock fender C5s are running those wheels. They'll poke quite a bit. There are C5 fitment reps available, but can't help with C6Z brake fitment, sorry.

Widebody C7 wheels will clear those calipers but will poke, alot. Don't think the base C7 wheels will clear them, either, but there's a chance they might because the C7 Brembo calipers have even more pad offset, than the C6 Z06/Grand Sport units.
