i am also curious about this...
I believe that Fbody calipers will work just as well as C5 calipers.
I know that we will need to buy C5 rotors, and the C5 caliper brackets.
Brake pads.
I think that may be it, but i also may be wrong. hopefully people will correct me.
Also for anyone out there that has done it what have you noticed?
Thanks

Yes the corvette rotor will fit inside the 17" wheel. You should clear the caliper as well. But it never hurts to double check. You should be fine though.
I have a set of C6 ZO6 calipers/rotors and need 18" wheels to fit them, but have not had much luck verifying room behind the wheel spokes to clear the caliper (these things are monsters!). I will keep hunting. Good luck with your upgrade.
