Default Camaro SS wheels on C5 Z06?

Ok, I am completely broke from racing....(actually am using the term "negative money")

Will the Camaro SS 17x9.5" wheels fit on a Z06 without issues? I may need to scavange my factory rims for Hoosier wets or my backup set of V710's.

The Camaro is off the road, so I figure I could use the wheels & tires from it for streets.

I can't say that I've tried it, but they should fit pretty decently.

The reason I say this is because I have run factory Z06 wheels on my Camaro SS without problem. They sit 'in' the wheel well a little bit, and some people run a very small spacer to make it look right. This tells me that the Camaro SS wheels will probably come right to the edge of the fender on the Z06. They are narrower of course (they are only 17x9 front and rear, fyi) so it will be pretty decent.
