Default c5 z06 wheels vs. c6 z06 wheels

Can c5 z06 rear wheels be used in place of c6 z06 wheels. Wanting to change from the 19'x12" rears to 18"x12" rears. Cannot seem to find clear answer. Are the offsets different?? Is there an interference problem?

Thanks

Aren't C5 Z06 wheels 18x10.5" on the rear?

There are plenty of used 18x12 wheels for sale. I just bought some CCW with tires for my C6Z06. all for wel under $1k. Are you coming to Huntsville this weekend?

I use 18x10.5's all around on a C6Z06 for track tires. They sit inside the fenders quite a bit, so they look goofy, but they are inexpensive and work well. Clearance is tight on the front, not a problem on the rear.

Yes I will be at the Hunts Auto X this week end. I have looked at some 18 x12 CCW's, all of them that I have found have the wrong offset,1.5" difference between OEM. I am worry about contact between tire and fender??? If you know of any out there that have the proper offset please let me know.

Thanks
