The diameter of the C6 and C6Z wheels are the same, but the "set back" is different. The different offset will make your stock wheels hit the Z06 calipers.
Here's what usually happens:
1. Change brakes to Z06.
2. Wheels replaced because offset causes interferrence
3. Wider wheels will require '"wide body kit" (Wider tires too!)
4. Paint wide body kit
5. Aww heck, just paint the whole car!
6. Discover you've thrown almost $9000 into this
7. Check into a big brake kit that'll out perform the stock Z06 units, and not have to change your whole friggen car!
FWIW the Z51 brakes fit...
