Default Wheel fitment

Well I am looking into getting my factory wheels powder coated black for now but was wondering if the c6 zo6 wheel package off ebay would fit on a c6. The one I am looking at has 17x9.5's w/54mm off set up front and 18x10.5's w/56mm off set outback. I just wasn't sure if this kit would work on a c6 or if it was just somthing to throw on a camaro or bird?

This is the same wheel offsets of the C5Z06 wheels... Not sure how those will fit up, maybe someone with a C6 with C5Z wheels will chime in how they fit to give you an idea.

They are the wrong offset for a C6, the wheels will fit but will stick out up to 1/2 inch Need to go to a 64 front 18x9.5 offset and a 79 rear 19x11 offset. With this you can also go to wider tires if you want. 275 up front and up to 325 in the rear. Not recommended but for grins put a 335x30x19 track tire on the rear to see if it clears and it.

I was looking at the smaller wheels (18's out back) for a cheaper drag setup.
