Default Will these fit?

Will these wheels (not tires) fit my C6...17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear...not sure if C5 CCW's will fit a C6...

If you know the seller's name you can call CCW and they'll give you the specs. I've done that before.

My 18 x 11" touches the control arm and needs to be jacked from the lower control arm to get the wheel off. While they never once touched in operation, I cant see a 17 x 11" being even in the realm of possibility.

In order to be possible it would need a 83 or 84mm offset and would require some shaving of the control arm to work.

My rear wheels are a 88mm offset at 11" wide.

The fronts will be ok at 62 to 68mm offsets.

Just curious, why is it that the 17x11 zr1's fit then?
