No, they won't; they'll move the outer edge of the tire outboard about 1-1/2", which will put it into your fender flange. :eyerole

I don't believe there were rallye wheels designed for a '66. I believe the first year on the rallye wheels was '67 and they were a narrower wheel than the C3 rallyes.

Thats true. I do believe the centers are interchangeable from the 67 to the 68 and above. I dont care for the C3 style on the C2. I like the C2 style on the C3 though. just my opinion

The first year of the Corvette rally wheel was '67, and they were 6" rims; the center caps will interchange, but the trim rings from an 8" rally wheel won't fit on the 6" rally wheel.

On a related note, the coolest combination I ever saw was a 62 with the 8" rallys. They look like they were made for that car. Fills the fenderwells perfectly.
