Wow, a dealer that actually knows the details about the cars he sells! I love them, the new camaro better knock me off my feet or I will be buying an 08 Vette. I'll slap some C6 Z06 wheels on it soon after buying it though.

Thanks for the kind words sir..after 43 years I should know a little about them.. .. The stock OEM Z06 wheels/tires will not fit a Vette coup or convertible. The offset and size will not clear the fenders of the coup or convertible...you might want to try some smaller aftermarket knockoffs ...here is a FYI for you the next time you se a Z06 take note of the three inch wider flared fenders on the the car..GM had to do this to clear the larger wheel/tire of the Z06..
