I think you're going to want spacers.
Rear wheel (19x10) will be sitting an additional 17mm inboard, and 29mm closer to the shock.
Front (18x8.5) will be sitting an additional 36mm inboard, and 10mm closer to the shock.
This is of course, assuming the cuisinarts are 56mm offset all around (which I'm 99.9% they are), and the C6s are 79mm offset all around. Again, which I'm pretty sure they are.
So yes, they'll fit, but not ideally without spacers.

Would you need longer studs?

if you do get C6 wheels try to stick with the 17/18 inch setups. I think the 19 inch looks abit large on C4's.
I have 18/19 on my Irocz and i kinda wish i kept 18's all around but they look good on my car as its not as sleek/narrow looking as a vette.

I figured they were pounds tops, nope. It is very noticeable seat of the pants on a stockish car. To top it all off, can be had for 500-800 dollars, for a super lightweight wheel. Priceless IMO. Makes the mods go farther!The only reason that I really see to go with a remold instead of genuine is if you don't want wheels spacers of any kind in the equation, as they often build most wheels in most offsets!

Go over to the C5 parts section and look around. If you don't see any, put a WTB post up. Personally, I'd rather see Corvetteken go with the C5 Z wheels. I think they'd look killer with the Charcoal paint on the car
