The bolt pattern (5 x120mm) is the same. 18" and 19" wheels fit the C5 without any issues. But the issue is the offset. The front offsets are almost identical, so there is no problem there (56mm). But the back offsets are a problem - the stock C5 offset is 63mm. The C6 wheels are 79mm offset. So the issue is that the tires will rub on the chassis side of the rear fender wells.

If you haven't bought them yet, you can buy repro. C6 wheels that are made with C5 offsets. I bought some chrome C6 wheels from House of Wheels, a supporting vendor. They fit fine, with no issues.

should be noted that the inside area of the oem wheels are not chrome. After markets with correct offsets would be.
In my opinion the reproduction rims in the smaller c5 size 17/18 looks funny. I would make sure to go 18/19 reproduction.
If you want the oem's you can purchase 1/4" spacers from ccw wheels

I went with 18/19's and I think they look great.

I was thinking about getting a second set of those, but in a wider wheel and tire combination than I have now. Right now I have 18/8.5 on front and 19/9.5 on the rear. If I decide to get a second set of the split spokes, I was going to go with 18/9.5 or 10 up front and 19/11 on the rear.
