Default C5/Z06 Wheels on C6 Chassis

The 19" rear tire/wheel combo for the C6 has yet to have a Performance (Autocross type) tire available. Has anybody installed the C5/Z06 Wheels on a C6 Chassis. Will the 17 x 9.5" wide front wheel clear and will the 18 x 10.5 inch rear (with it's slightly less backspace) clear on the rear?

I want to know as well.

This was possible with C4 wheels on the C5 so hopefully it will work.

Anyone know for sure?

The C6 chassis is nearly identical to the C5's dimensionally, any C5 wheel should bolt up, unless you have a new Z06 with the big 6pot brakes There should be no issues running C5 Z06 type sizes, worst case might be a small front spacer (1/8 to 1/4") to clear the revised front caliper.
