Default Will these wheels fit C5 front brake?

I just bought a set of 99 Corvette rim. They're 17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. I'll go for 18 front as soon as I find a good deal on another 18x9.5 later.
This is how it looks:


I also have C5 front brake conversion kit about to go in. I just wondering will the 17 rim fit in C5 front brake? I'll assume they'll fit since these rims coming from a LS1 Corvette. So I can put the C5 brake in with the 17 rim for now.

Ok, what do they call 99 corvettes? C5 right? Now, you have a c5 brake conversion going in. Wouldn't it make sense that the stock wheels off of a c5 corvette would fit over the stock brakes?
