Hopefully somebody will make replica wheels that will fit someday? I'm not spending 5 grand on a set of wheels 
Would these wheels fit

Would these wheels fit
I have been told that these wont fit a base C7, but they appear to have the same dimensions?

there's more to it than that....the design of the spokes for example....a thick spoke that is shaped inward toward the center line will most often interfere with the calipers, especially in the front.

yes, im sure
and sometimes 315/30/18's up front, this is the same setup i started using on my new 2002 cp. and then my 2008 vert, now my non-z51 C7. 25 plus years ago i was at a event (auto-x) in hershey pa. and seen a guy there with a yellow c4 with 315/?/ 17's front and back, he told me about contact patch and that his tires were so wide that it was like getting two tires for the price of one, you just flip the tire when its wore out middle to outer edge,
