Those wheels have the same pattern as your stock wheels. All you need are spacers. To get the proper spacing, a 1.5" spacer will work depending on tire. A 1.75" spacer is probably best.
Ebay is a good place to get them. Search in Ebay Motors for 'Corvette Spacer' and you'll get pages of them. If you don't see ones big enough, email a few of the sellers, as they tend to make them. They can make a custom set to you measurements. Expect to spend almost $200 for all four spacers and lug nuts.
Also, some of these spaces comes with metric studs in them, to the wheel lugs have to be changed to metric, and the lugs holding the spacers to the hubs are standard. That's a maybe...but it's happened to me a few times.
Make sure all your wheel bearings are in good shape before you add those wheels and spacers. The extra width makes it harder on the bearings.
