Question C5 wheel question (C5 vs Z06)

On regular C5 Corvettes, the front wheel is 17x8.5 correct?
On C5 Z06 Corvettes, the front wheel is 17x9.5 correct?

Is the extra inch just on the backside of the wheel for the Z06? Meaning, the face doesn't stick out any further from the fender than a regular C5 wheel.

Please confirm, if you know.

correct on the wheel sizes, just measured a few spares i had

Z06 wheel 7 3/8
C5 wheel 6 7/8" backspacing

this was measured from the inboard hub face to wheel lip, could be a bit off

cool, thanks. I ordered a set of 17x9.5 Z06 wheels for the rear of my C6, to put drag radials on for the track. Didn't want them to stick out too far and look ghetto
