Default Will stock C6 wheels fit a C5

I'm buying some new wheels for my C6. I have a friend with a C5 and he wants my stock wheels. Will they fit ? Or will he need spacers or something ?

The base C6 wheel to C5 car has been done many times by C5 owners with no problems.

I told him I'd give him a good price. I'm gonna ask for $300 and they still have a little tread left. I'm not totally fond of the flat stars for some reason. It helps me get them out of my possession I have no place to put them.

Default Offsets little different

tri08sbc,

The C6 Wheels on C5's is a great combination especially with the C6 tire size, they will fit with no issues. However, the offsets for the C6 are a little different than the C5.

The base size C6 wheels 8.5" F and 10" R when mounted on the C5, the wheel will look a little bit set deeper into the wheel well, at least on the rear from what I've seen.

I attached this link below and as you scroll thru you will see some pictures of what I'm writing about.

Clik on the images, you will see a blue C5, a white C5 and a red C5 all with base C6 flat spoke wheels. You can see the wheel set in especially on the red C5 convertible.

FYI,
c5firstimer now C6
