Default ZO6 vs. Base Coupe

Question on the difference in rear wheel wells in a C5 ZO6 and a base coupe.
Does the C5 ZO6's have a deeper rear wheel well than the 1999 base coupe?
Thanks in advance!
Mark

No. The chassis and the body as far as the fender openings are the same.

Thank you Mr. Black!
I'm looking at getting new wheels and running an 18" or 19" x11" wheels on all four corners. While looking at pictures of other C5's it seems that only the C5 ZO6's are running that type combination. C5 base Coupe's seemed to have 18"x9.5" front and 18" or 19" x 10" In the rear. I thought the ZO6 might have had a mini tub in it.

I had thought there was a wheel fitment guide on this forum but haven't been able to find it.
