Most after market wheels follow the stock C5 widths:
8.5 in front and 9.5 rear or Z06: 9.5 front and 10.5 rear.
I am running 265x35x18 front and 295x35x18 rear on Z06 widths.
If the tires you have now don't look too wide for the wheels, you probably have 8.5/9.5 wide wheels.

IF they ARE Z06 widths, 9.5" front and 10.5" rear, the tires you presently have on them will physically appear to be too narrow for the wheels. That's one way to tell. Also, if you pull the wheels off, they may have the size stamped somewhere on the inside of the rim, like on the back of one of the spokes or on the center section that bolts up to the hub.
If the wheels ARE 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 I'd suggest 265/35 fronts and 295/35 rears.
