Default Z0-6 wheels on a narrow body, what tires would fit?

Can C-6 Z0-6 wheels be used on a narrow body C-6 provided the tire size is adjusted to fit the fender wells. I would think the smaller width tires would require a slight"stretch" to fit the wider wheel and to allow for the fender clearance. What would the tire be to work? I have seen this done but don't remember the tire size that was used. Thoughts!

C6 Z06 wheels with C6 Z06 offsets will stick out past the fenders regardless of the tire on them.

C6 non Z06
Front 18 x 8.5, +56 mm offset
Rear 19 x 10, +79 mm offset

C6 Z06
Front: 18 inch x 9.5 inch, +40 offset
Rear: 19 inch x 12 inch, +59 offset

Given those numbers, the Z06 rear wheels would stick out more than 1-3/4" further than the C6 coupe/vert wheels. The fronts would stick out a little more than an inch.

There are previous threads on this, and you may even find some pictures still hanging around. I am big on the flush look, but these are way past that.

lots of threads on this question.

the fronts can be made to fit by using smaller tires, the rears will stick out. Don't do it...
