Probably fit the back but the fronts would need spacers to keep them off the struts.
Check out LS1GTO.com---they have a WHEEL REPOSITORY, it tells what wheels and offsets will work.

Technically, they are a slightly different bolt pattern, but I've heard of some people using them. Like Buzz said, the offset is wrong for the front, you'd have to use spacers, which sort of bothers me. Also, with spacers you'd need to install longer stronger (ARP) lug bolts.

Agreed. Check ls1gto.com Some of the members there run Z06 wheels.

Something else to consider--GTO's come with 5x120mm bolt pattern and hub centric wheels, meaning the hole in the rim is just big enough to go on the hub. That keeps the wheel centered on the hub. When you switch to aftermarket/non stock wheels you have to get hub rings to center the rim on the hub or you get terrible vibration. Most GM rims are 5x4.75 bolt pattern which is minutely different, not much, but enough that it is really hard to get the rim centered for a smooth ride.

aftermarket replicas will fit with the correct offsets. Factory z06 wheels will not the rears are way too wide. I tried the same idea with my friends 2007 z06. all the offsets are wrong for the gto
