I saw a guy at the track one time with 96 CE\ZR1 style wheels on his C5. They were all 17's- I am not sure why he did all 4 that way- but nonetheless, they were on it...I also saw a guy with 17" black Grand Sport wheels (same a ZR1's) on the rear of a C5. They had track tires on them, fronts were normal thin spokes...maybe he wanted the gear change...

Many Track Cars (c-5/z06) Will Run 17 Inch C-4 Wheels. This Is Because 17 Inch Track Tires Are Alot Cheaper Than The 18 Inch. Also The 96 Grand Sport Rim Is Wider, So It Can Take A Wider Tire......jc

On the C5- you must maintain a wheel diameter difference between the front and rear or the traction control will have a $hit fit...(hence the 17" front, and 18" rear) most people say that as long as you stay within 3% of the normal diameter (front to rear) you will be OK. A lot of guys run 18's on all 4 corners but like a 35 in the front and a 40 in the rear...
