Default C5 Rims on a C3 Vette?

Let's say I have a set of C5 Z06 Rims. Would they fit a 1974 Stingray a la the bolt pattern? Family has a 74 Vette and I'd like to start restoring it, and I'd like to at least start with the rims!

When I start to work on my moms Vette chances are it will end up with a set of 16" classic CCW's. I just love thoes wheels for some reason (same wheel just 18x10.5 is whats going on my car). As long as the bolt pattern is the same they will bolt up, but the way the wheels were on the C3 I think they will tuck way too far in the fenders.

Bolt pattern is the same, but you would need some big spacers. Vette Brakes, used to make adapters to fit modern wheels onto the older cars.
