Default C7 Z06 rim fitment

Anyone know if C6 Z06 rims will fit on C7 Z06?

They *should* -- same offsets, similar widths and overall diameters.

Only question is if the 18/19 inner diameters will clear the C7 Z06's brakes.

I was looking at some 20x10F 20x12R that were on a C6 Z! From everything I've seen, the rears are the same offset on the C6 Z as the C7 Z but the fronts on the C6 are 40mm and the C7 are 43mm. In guessing I might need a spacer or the fronts would just stick out a little more?

Correct. Rears are same offset, and front C6z wheels have 3mm less offset, meaning that they will stick out 3mm more than a C7z wheel. Adding a spacer will make them stick out even further, so that's the wrong way to go.

I don't know that I'd worry about 3mm difference... that's about 1/10th of 1 inch, or about the thickness of 2 nickels stacked up. You'll find greater variation in width between different brand tires in the same exact size designation than that.

They will fit over the iron brakes and fit the car just fine....will not fit over the carbon brakes. Believe someone had posted pics of them on a C7Z here a week or so ago.
