Not sure I understand the question. If they are replica spider wheels made to fit the base c6, the base c7 tires should fit on them. However, if you're trying to put them on a C7, they probably won't clear the brake calipers.

I’m talking about rims. I’d like to buy some c6 zo6 after market spider rims, black chrome. There are none listed for the c7, just wondering if the c6 rims would fit the tires that came with my standard c7. If not why? Do you know the dimension of the rims on c7 non z51?

Non Z51 factory rims are 18"x8.5" front and 19"x10" rear.

Any tire can stretch 1/2 in without a stretched look
