18" rims on a 2016 SS

Question: will the 18" LS/LT rims fit on the SS model?

Reason being, on the C5's, we had the "roller skate" problem (vibration counterweights on the Brembos). To fit 18's, we had to go with aftermarket pads to fit. Any pics of the new C6 to see if we still have roller skates? (My guess is no, since it seemed to be a poor design back then that has hopefully been fixed.)

Any other information on offset and fitment? Will old C5 aftermarket rims fit on the new SS (and LS/LT, for that matter)?

Such a setup is primarily for us drag racers who want a little more sidewall, less weight, and wider choices for drag radials. Comments about the advisability of putting 18's on an SS for any other reason are irrelevant to my questions.

Main thing is I've still got my 18" TSW setup that worked so well on my C5, and if I get a C6, it would be nice to just be able to swap them out when I go drag racing.
