FWIW, all of the factory 17" wheels on the fourth-gen F-bodies from 1996 and up will clear both the C5(Z06) and base level C6 brakes with 325mm rotors. The C6 calipers aren't any bigger than the C5's, but they are aproximately 25% more rigid due to some additional material across the bridge of the caliper body. Instead of having 8 narrow stiffening ribs like the C5's have, the C6 calipers have 4 wide ribs and weigh a couple ounces more due to the additional material.

HTH,
