Will C5 Z06 fitment wheels fit C5 convertible?

If I was to purchase a set of Iforged's for a C5 z06 and later on ended up getting a C5 convertible - can the same wheels be used with correct fitment?

I'm thinking that going from Convertible to Z06 wheel have fitment issues due to bigger brake calipers, but Z06 to vert seems like it would work?

They are interchangeable. The brakes are the same size.

No problems at all putting C5 Z06 wheels on a C5 convertible.

That's surprising I always thought Z06 had bigger brakes but guess I'm wrong. Thanks for the info.

Not without rear flared quarter openings. They'll stick out and possibly rub the inside fender wells. They are 13"s wide. My 19"x11" slightly rub the inside and are flush with the outside of the quarter opening.

Same brakes from what I've read. Just painted red.

As for C6 wheels on C5s, there are a lot of threads on this already. The general consensus is they will fit but will stick out since they are a different offset. Some seem to say no don't use them because they are the wrong size and some say they work fine and have them on their C5. For me if there is a chance that it won't fit I'd just rather not bother and get wheels made for my car. If you have a C5Z and want to get a C5vert then there will be no problems with the wheels if you get any C5 wheels. If you have a C5 and think you might want to get a C6 down the road then probably better off just getting new wheels for the C6.

I stand corrected, I'm sorry I read this thread as C6Z wheels. Yes C5z wheels should fit a C5 Vert.
