C6 Z06 wheels on C7
I have a new set of C6 Z06/GS/ZR1 wheels.
Will they bolt on to my C7? And if so, will the wide wheels/tires work on my C7 base body?

I'd suggest you consider another wheel option, as all of the above mentioned wheel models are failing with bending and cracking at an alarming rate. In fact there was a class action law suit filed on 5/30/19. See: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...acked-rim.html

I dunno. I drove my base '06 C6 for 7 yrs with GM wheels, and my '13 Grand Sport for 6 yrs, also with GM wheels. Both cars were daily drivers, neither one experienced cracked wheels, and yes, I hit potholes so hard that I actually destroyed a couple tires. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Thank you for clarifying, but why did you post it in the first place. I was asking about putting *C6* Z06 wheels (manufactured '06='13) on a C7. Any thoughts on that?

They may not fit. The offset is very close to the same but the brake caliper clearance is an issue. The caliper sticks out too much. Some of the C6 wheels have worked with a 5mm spacer and Extended Thread Lug nuts but I am unsure about the wheels you are asking about.
You would need to test fit and see if you need spacers.

You have to go aftermarket for what you are looking to do.
