I've seen it done with the stock 4 piston (with very minimal clearance). I've not seen anyone do it on the 6 pistons.

Our 18" EC-7 and SM-10 wheels do clear the larger 6 piston 390mm+ GM brake setups. We recently tested an 18x9.5" EC-7 wheel on a ZL1 1LE and there were no clearance issues to note.
Additionally, we had a C7 Z06 stop by our shop for some testing with an 18x11" ET39 SM-10 wheel over its 6 piston 394mm Carbon Ceramic setup and while there were a couple stops, no contact occurred. There's only so much you can do with an 18" wheel over these massive brake setups. - Cory
