C5 Wheels Will stock corvette C5 wheels fit on a 99 T/A without modification? I am talking about the 17's on the front and the 18's off the back. These are OEM right off a vette.

mine did, (also OEM C5 wheels) but I ended up doing the BFH mod because they rubbed every once in awhile on the inside rear well (tire, not wheel), and the rear wheels hung on the bump stop plate when the car was up in the air on a lift.
The fronts fit fine, no clearance issues at all.
I wasn't happy with the way they sat in the fender well, so I ended up adding H&R hubcentric 25 mm spacers to the rear .. they really loooked good then, but I had to roll my fender lip to stop the outside from rubbing when I hit hard bumps, or when I was carrying passengers.
here is without a spacer
here is with the spacers,
(not a great pic, but the only one I could find)
