84-87 base
8.5"x16" 32mm offset
84R-87 Z51
9.5"x16" 38mm offset
88-96 base
8.5"x17" 56mm offset
9.5"x17" 56mm offset
C5 base
8.5"x17" 56mm offset
9.5"x18 65mm offset
C5 Z06
9.5"x17" 54mm offset
10.5"x18 58mm offset
Compared to the early C4 16" offset, the 17" Z06 wheels will be different by 54mm-38mm=16mm or 0.63" different. So a small adapter like a 1/2" or 3/4" adapter would position them quite close to how the early Z51 wheels were positioned.

these are C6 ZO6 aftermarket rims in C5 Z06 sizes, on my 87 track car, I had to add the rear hubcentric adapter, to the rear for them to clear the dogbone mounts, that pushed them slightly outside the wheel well which I fixed with flares. the front fit right at the edge of the wheel well, no issues with turning or rubbing, but I also installed a wider tire on both ends to take up any miss match. hope this helps

Check your rim and tire size also as the C5s came with 17" front and 18" rear from the factory.
I have the stock size 17/18s on my 91 with no adaptors and they fit and look great. For those of you with the 84 thru 87 C4s you will have to check the backspacing and purchase the appropriate sized adaptors.
Here is a pic of what they look like:
