I've been kind of waiting for a answer myself, but from what I've seen from different post is oem c6 wheels will fit the front fine ,but may need a spacer on the back(1/4 inch ). That beeing said I've seen some who said they fit without spacers. I think spacers on the back would prevent rubbing on the inner wall of the back. If anyone else wants to add to this Please do!!!!!

ggeldy,

I did this on a friend's C-5. I agree with what you say. the fronts bolt up perfectly and the backs needed "approximately" a 1/4 " spacer to keep from rubing the inner fender well.

There are no computer issues with AH, TC, ABS or speedometer since the overall sizes are almost identical. (wheel and tire circumference)

I have seen posts where no spacer was needed for the rear but our installation needed a little room on the rears.

I'm working on this exact thing and picked up a set of 4 C6 Non Z06 on Craigslist locally for $450 (tires were shot though) Good luck!
