Default C5 wheels on C6?

Anyone have C5 wheels on their C6? I saw a black C6 with black c5 ZO6 wheels on their car. Actually looked good in my opinion.

Had them on my yellow C6 I had the z51 option and the breaks were close to the wheel. I had some track days with them and no problems.

Did you run the 17s in front or run the 18s all around.

I run the 18x10.5 with 315x30x18 Hoosiers all the way around on my 2006 C6A6 for autocross. I have to shim the fronts 1/4" and they still rub a little on the inside fender well at full lock. Car is lowered pretty much as far as it can be. this is probably contributing to sum of the rub on inner feder wll on either side of shock. I will go with longer front studs and 1/8" more spacing for next year. Check it out.

Thanks Andy, that's a nice set up.

Stock 17" C5 rims will NOT clear the front brakes on my C6.
