C7 wheeels on a C5
Will 245 / 35 X 19 front and 305 / 30 X 20 rear wheels and tires from a C7 Z51 fit my C5?
If yes will they require spacers?
If spacers are required what specs?

I'm running 19/20 c7 zr1 style wheels on my car. It sounds like you're looking for stock width wheels? Do you know the offsets?

C7 and C8 bolt pattern (5x120mm) are different than C6 and earlier (5x4.75" or 120.65mm). You'll have issues keeping the lug nuts tight, and would need a big adapter / spacer to change the bolt pattern. This is not a good idea.

I stand corrected- new to the Corvette space, I'm used to Zeta/Alpha cars that have been on 120mm for a while, and thought the C7 was the changeover. C7 wheels on older cars should be fine, C8 is not.
