C6 Gumby's fit, as do base C7 wheels (https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...on-c7-z51.html).

I bought a set of C6 wheels I was told by the company they would clear, nope spokes hit the calipers and I believe the Z51 has bigger calipers then mine. I sold them to a guy with a C6 and they fit perfectly. They were barely hitting in the front and I could have used an 1/8" spacer but the rears weren't close to working. I thought about trying a wider spacer in the rear but even using an 1/8" I had in my shop they wouldn't turn, didn't try a 1/4" but it may have needed that much to clear. Stopped messing with it. Buy at your own risk. One other thing, if you buy them and can return them if they don't work don't mount the tires assuming they will work. I tested wheel on the hubs and spun them and thought I was ok so I went ahead and mounted the tires. Brought them home put them on and torqued them down and they wouldn't turn. Lesson learned, put the lugs on and tighten them down to make sure, then mount the tires.Buy at your own risk.
