Haven't done it myself so I don't want to give you false information, but most likely yes. There have been a few guys that have put C7 wheels on a C8.

How could a 'few guys' put wheels on their car that won't fit? Inquiring minds want to know. Maybe a larger question, why would you want to?

They won't fit. C7 wheels use a 12mm stud hole and a 120.65x5 bolt pattern, 12mm x1.5 lug nut and stud.
The C8 uses 14mm stud holes and a 120x5 bolt pattern, 14mm x 1.5 lug nut and stud.

Thanks, just wanted to put different wheels on without shelling out $7K and I've always liked the look of the ZR1 wheels.

Check out Carlos's MRR 755s in the sponsor section. They are ZR1 replica's and designed specifically for the C8.

I assumed they wouldn't fit, too, but I've seen a photo of what are apparently C7 wheels mounted on a C8. I wouldn't do it, as the lug nut cones aren't going to line up right, and the offsets are all wrong, but apparently there's enough room in the C7 lug holes to fit over the larger lugs and slightly smaller bolt circle.
But like I said, don't do it.

C8 owners will just have to bend and crack their own wheels, instead of getting ones already "broken in."

Conversely has anyone tried to put the standard c8 5 spoke 19/20s on a z51 c7? Asking for a friend.
Really?
