Not with the Torq Thrust's rim design. Usually the spokes of the rims start out from the center in a inward fashion and extend outward towards the lip. The Torq Thrust II's design is different. It's spokes start from the center and bludges forward and comes back inward attaching to the stepped lip. Kinda hard to explain but explained it the best I could. There may have been a few that have accomplished this with the correct wheel spacer. Maybe
I am taking a bit of a chance with my Torq Thrust M's. I will also be doing a C5 Conversion. It looks like, to me it will fit because the rim's spokes are a little more forgiving.
What money did you invest in so far? The Corvette Calipers or the Torq Thrust II's? I still need a pair of C5 Calipers if you are interested in selling them.

Use better studs, and a hub centric spacer. It's generally better though to get wheels with the proper offset and backspace in the beginning. This is what I did. I was going to get the TTII's but ended up getting boyd coddington timeless 2's specifically because the TTII's spokes won't clear the caliper where the spoke meets the hoop.

Isn't it also true that the ZO6 calipers will bolt up to the stock rotors and caliper mounts?
This way if you are on a budget, you can get the calipers, and then at a later date, get the brackets for the C5 rotors and some new rotors...

I've heard that they are around 20 dollars. I was going to do that but didn't want to cheap out. I got the WS6store.com's Rear LS1 F-Body Rotors and RPMSpeed.com's (Sister site to WS6Store.com) Front C5 Rotors for 185 shipped. I ordered the blanks though. The reason I didn't go with the regular blanks from Autozone is the fact that they will rust with given time. Yuck!
