Default C6 wheels on C3 Info needed

I am looking to put C6 wheels on my 81. Either 5 spoke or Z06.
If anyone has a picture of them on their C3 I would love to see them.
I also need to know what size will fit without altering any fiberglass.
Trailing arm alterations and spacers are no problem. Any info will be a big help. Sorry if this question has been beat to death, but I tried to do a search with no luck ( I might not have done the search correctly)
Thanks
Jeff

Check out my photos or speedvette.com I've got Z06 Spyders with 3" spacers. I got mine from House of Wheels. He was great to deal with. The 18x8.5 with adapters should work on yours.
Good luck!
