Will these C6 wheels fit my C7?
Front : 18X8.5. 56 MM offset
Rear : 19X10. 79 MM offset
Is the bolt pattern the same between C6 & C7 generations ?
Thanks.

If you have a Z51, you may have a brake clearance issue.

I'm wondering if I can reuse my existing (300 miles brand new tires (Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP) on the above sized rims. The sizes are :
Front : P245 / 40 ZR 18
Rear : P285 / 35 AR 19
Front : P245 / 40 ZR 18
Rear : P285 / 35 AR 19

Which C6 wheels do you have?
We know the early year C6 wheels don't fit. We also know the '08-'09 Gumby wheels do fit. We suspect that maybe the '11+ C6 wheels "might fit".

So, I have a 2017 c7 and I'm looking at wheels that are advertised (Cup replicas) as being a fit on the C6. Since the rim size of the advertised wheels appear to be identical to the C7 size I have on my Stingray, I'm just trying to be sure before ordering. I want to use my existing tires since I have less than 400 miles on them.

Yea, everything is the same as C6 BUT there is a potential problem with the C7 brake calipers clearing.
I have no independent knowledge but I suspect the Cup replicas have sufficient clearance but you should make sure of that with whoever you are buying from. Either they will know and guarantee they will work or they won't know and won't guarantee it. They may offer to let you return the wheels as long as you don't mount tires on them, aka; you would want to put just a wheel on the front and verify brake clearance before mounting the tires.

ok. As it turns out the ebay seller just replied mentioning the brake clearance issue.
Here's the ebay listing :

So the seller, a repro wheel dealer, confirmed that nobody makes cup style wheels for the C7 stingray or Z51. That's disappointing. I like the cup wheels out of all the OEM styles and the finish on those would have gone great with my Watkins Glenn grey.
Guess I'll have to look and see if the cray spiders fit. They are similar but not exactly the same.

There is no way to tell by looking at them if they will fit or even by knowing the offsets. The odds are against it.

Hmm?
Buy an expensive car and chintz on the wheels? Don't get it.

Anecdotal : my neighbor has an 08 or 10 gs (don’t recall which year) without runflats.
I have a 14 that I had recently changed out the wheels and tires
He called one night, said he had a flat, and asked if he could borrow one of my wheels....
anyway....
The 14 fronts fit his C6 without issue. The tpms were also auto recognized by his C6. No brake clearance issues, etc.
