Default Wheel question from C5z to C6

I can't do a proper search or something, I'm sure the information is out there already.

Would a C5Z set of wheels fit without clearing issues on a base C6? I have a C6 z51, and would like 18 inch rear wheels. Tough to find without breaking the bank.

Thanks!

The 18" rears bolts on no problem but [always a but], they do stick out a little bit. The 17" fronts will rub at the extremes. About 1" in on the inside.

are you looking to use a race tire/drag radial for this?

I'd be putting something like Hoozier A6 on them for Autocross.

My plan is to keep the stock front rims but with 275/35 rubber on them.
Rear, I thougth C5Z with 325/35 or so.

I want to avoid rubbing. Looks like the front might need new wheels too, or be really balooned.
