Yes, fitment is no problem The same Z51 wheels and tires are an option on the base C7.

I love these wheels. Like the smart idiot I am, I set a budget prior to ordering my car. The wheels didn't make the cut...ugh.

before I grabbed my car I was about to pull trigger on black with red and those wheels. I did love that car. Had it not been for the need of a widebody I'd go with those. Very nice looking wheel.

Thanks to everyone I ordered a set from Trunk Monkey a few minutes ago. I'm going to put the new Michelin A/S 3+ Zero pressure on them when they get here. I'll be selling the 18 and 19 machine Faced when I get them on the car.
