I would like to know also. I'm wondering if it will fit on stock rims without adding wheel spacers.

The 315 on an 11" wheel is about the maximum you can fit on a C5 Z06 without clearance problems with the rear brake duct, outer spring perch bracket and inner fender. Thus mini tubbing and removal of the duct is necessary if anything larger, say a 335 or 345, is used in 18" dia.; and a 1/4" spacer must be used if a smaller 17" wheel is used, to clear the spring perch on compression.

The OEM C6 Z06 325 on 12" is obviously wider in wheel & tire size. Consider that the C6 Z06 track is in fact much narrower than the C5 Z06 even with wider tires & wheels. Therefore the C6 Z06 has more backspacing.

Wider tire, wider wheel and more backspacing negates just slapping the OEM C6 Z06 wheel/tire combo on a C5 Z06.
