Default Z06 wheels

Will the standard Z06 wheels and tires fit on a non-Z06 C5 ?

Absolutely.

As far as wheel/tire fitment, here are no dimensional differences in the body or suspension between the C5 and Z06.

I ordered some 17x9.5 for the front and I am wondering if I can use my current front tires which are P245/45 ZR1s. I also ordered 18x9.5 for the rear, can I use my current tires which are P275/40 ZR1s ?
I only have 9K miles on my stock tires and am trying to save alittle $$$$. Or do you reccomend biteing the bullet and getting the 18x10.5 rear wheels and just buy all new tires ? I would also like to run flat tires. I know I'm a pain !!

I ran my stock RF's on Z06 rims for a time, no issues whatsoever. Actually looked good.
