Yes they will fit. Most people opt for a ZR1 style wheel because thay can be had with a 9.5" widths, which allows larger DR's. The 17" wagons are only 8.5" wide compared to the rear 18"s are 9.5".

I got a pair of 17 inch wagon wheels off ebay for $100 and then the BFG drr's. Works for me.

I just slapped a set on stock 18 inch z06 rims and ran what I ran back when I ran it!
