Default 16 inch firebird wheels on a c6 ?

I found a set of 26x11.5 ets on 16 inch firebird stock wheels.
Will they bolt on a C6. If not what will I need to do to make them fit.

Nope, I can't say I did. I did see the Mickey Thompson "M/T".

I don't know why some people even reply.
They are going on today. I'll post up pictures later.
I can't wait to hit the track

They did fit after a bit of head scratching.
1.5 inch wheels spacers and a little bit work.
Had to clearance the top of the upper control arms a little and lots of work on the calipers.
After re painted the rear calipers you don't really notice they have been worked.
I think a little bigger wheel spacer would have saved a fair bit of time and work. I had them sitting there so that why I used them.

I already did mine. They didn't didnt clear the ball joint without some love from a grinder. They fit good on a non-widebody without the spacer.

I know im a tad bit late

was just wondering what's the width and the offset of the wheel? I've been looking day and night for a similar setup but cant find the wheel
