No, Current C7's run the same size tires and wheels as base C6's do so no wide body. The 2015 C7Z will be a wide body.

No, but try asking in the C7 section

The C7 Z06 will be the wide body version and the current C7 owners will get butt hurt that they no longer have the 'ultimate' vette

The 2014 C7 coupe is 2.3" longer than the C6 coupe and 1.3" wider than the C6 coupe.

Interesting that it's longer than the C6 but widely considered to be smaller in interior space. Guess they had to put all that new technology somewhere.

Some of the C7 guys are complaining that the interior is cramped compared to the C6.

There are some widebody kits out there. Google Forgiatto's SEMA C7 from last year's show. Looks good but horrible color they chose for it. LOMA is also working on a widebody kit along with supervettes.
