I maybe wrong but C5 wheels are 17's Front & 18's Rear. The Zo6 wheels are wider then the stock but still 17's & 18's ??

But I still don't know why you would want to put C5 wheels on a C6 ??
Isn't that like a down grade Putting smaller wheels on the C6??
Hey I own a C5 and I wouldn't put C4 or C3 wheels on it. But I would upgrade to a C6 wheel package.

Just curious.

yes they will fit.

a forum member is running them on his C6Z for track use while using hefty spacers to clear the stock Z calipers. I believe clearance for the stock C6 brakes is fine.


regarding the smaller size diameter, the Z was slammed with the C5Z wheels on his car.

.


The C5 Z06 wheels fix on the C6. A few guys use the 17 inch fronts on the rear of the C6 for 17 inch drag radials! I use the early C5 wagon wheels for my 17 inch MT drag radials
