Don't know what kind of jacking pucks you have - fixed lug depth or adjustable ... the C6Z frame is slightly thicker ... I have made jacking puck sets, most recently with "eye" bolts screwed into hockey pucks ... they can be backed out slightly to fit snugly in a C6Z frame.

I've done over 30 days of racing in my Z over the past year and have never used a puck.

I checked it out tonight and I see what you guys are saying. I am going to turn the pucks on a lathe to increase the gap between the holding lug and the surface that makes contact. with the frame rail.
Thanks gang!

As others have said - No, they don't fit. The neck is to short.
The benefit of having a puck that you can turn so that it stays in place, is that you don't risk pinching your fingers or stretching your back while holding the puck in place and jacking at the same time.
- Don't ask how I know
When changing tires often, I found that the BMW permanent pucks are very convenient. They snap in and stay on. Just need one in each front location.

- they are pretty much at the end of the doors. You should feel that the side skirt/piece is missing just around the slot.
