they will fit fine other than some minor massaging of the rear inner fenders because of the 18x10.5" rear wheels. Two things to make you aware of;
1. Not sure if you know but the fronts are 17x9.5 and the rears are 18x10.5.
2. His price is about $200-300 too high. Yes they are real Z06 wheels but C5 Z06s are more common than LT1 ZR1 style wheels these days. Everybody runs them. You can get a full set of 17x9.5 quality Z06 replicas from OEwheels (LS1tech sponsor) for like $400ish BRAND NEW shipped!
3. Advantage to running 17x9.5s all the way around is you can use your current tires and will be able to rotate them evenly. With the 18s in the rear you obviously can't do that anymore.
4. IMPORTANT: Many 4th gen owners report ABS issues when running bigger wheels in the back than in the front. This is hit or miss meaning some people don't have issues while others do.

ABS light and some other light comes on when above 40ish. I don't remember exactly, but I had some prostars with a 28" tire in the rear and 26 in the front and anytime over 40 the lights would come on. Pretty annoying!

That price is a ripoff. I got a set of 17x9.5 18x10.5 C5 Z06's black with a chrome lip brand new shipped for like $450. They fit fine with some 275/40/18 tires, but when I stepped up to some 295/35/18's I had to get a 1/8" spacer and it only rubs now when I'm going around a turn kinda hard. Not bad though. I have no ABS issues either.

it depends on what tires you have. my fronts are 275/40/17 and the rears are 295/35/18 and i don't have any abs lights or anything.
with a small spacer they fit perfectly but i didnt get one. waht i did was drove about 20 miles with them. and pulled the rears off and looked where it was rubbing and hit that little 2" x 2" spot with a hammer and i dont have those issues anymore.
