I wondered about the C6 Z06 when I read Brett's post. Another option and you could maybe split the "set-up" for it. Find any appropriate late model compact that will clear the diameter of the rotor package and buy a wheel adapter that will do 5 X 4.75 to what ever the bolt-circle is on the compact spare and buy it in the appropriate thickness to accommodate the offset required. I would guess adapters might only be available in pairs so you'd need a partner. Find the right compact spare and this would be very viable.

There's 18 & 19 inch compact spares.

For a "stocker" I'd buy a compact-spare (salvage) T155/80R17 Sienna, Highlander, 350Z and more maybe and just swap the tire. If the "stocker" won't clear the C5 Z06 caliper then do the GTO and maybe still substitute the larger compact. The GTO is I think quite tiny.
