Please confirm, C6 Z06 wheels also require a spacer when used on a Z51 or base C6?
Real Z06 wheels do not require spacers when mounted on a C6 Z51 but they stick out quite a bit in the rear (about an inch and a half). I would recommend flares or a body kit if you want to run the Z06 rims on a Z51 or standard C6.

The front is 9.5" wide, right? Were your replicas the same width in front?

Thanks to John Page at 21st Century Musclecar for letting me measure against his Z06
what sizes where the wheels you tried and who was the vendor??
i would bet not all C6 Z06 replicas are created equal
in his original post BlkSS1755 showed his fitting with what i believe are Corvette Garage Hyperblack Z07s (C6 Z06 replicas). see here
hopefully he can chime in and tell us more.
the wheels i bought are from the Corvette Garage.. they are Hyperblack Z07 wheels.. they measure 18x9.5" and 18x11". they box says they are both 53 mm offset. it may say it on the website too.. mine clear with no problems.. i have found that these wheels are the only ones to fit so far without any spacers.
the ones in the pic in post #58 look like the "slick" wheels.. note the lugnut location is different. here are some of my pics on my FRC.
this is a pics of my couisn's C5 with a rear OEM 18x9.5" polished wheel with a 1/4" spacer.. it's close, but it works.. my cousin also grinded some of the caliper down and touched it up
