If you use the real C6 Z06 Wheels with the correct size tires you will have clearance problems...that is why the Z06 has three inch wider fenders to clear these large whells/tires...there are after market C6 Z06 style wheels in sizes that will fit your car...

You are going to need front and rear fenders...and to make the fenders fit you are going to need a new nose too not to mention a hood...The Z06 front end is very different than the coup....when you see how much it cost to make those wheels and tires fit it will not be such a good deal on the wheels after all...I suggest that you buy a set of wheels that will fit your car as it sits right now..even if you only had to do the rear the cost will far out weigh the deal on the wheels...It will be far cheeper that what your are thinking about doing ...
