Re: Will these fit right on my car?

Check your dimensions. Two wheels of different widths, with the same offset, can not have the same backspace.

For the 18x10.5" wheel with a 58mm offset, the backspace is closer to 8.0". That is the factory offset and backspace of the C5 Z06 wheel. An 8.0" BS will probably put the inside edge of the tire very close (if not into) the inside fender liner.

For the 18x9.5" wheel, a 58mm offset would produce the 7.53" backspace. But there were no factory 18x9.5's, and some of the repro 9.5's I have seen are 61mm.

Your front tires (26.7") are more than 1" larger than stock, and are larger than the back tires (26.1"). Did you want them that way? You would probably be better off with a 275/35-18 in the front.
