Default C6 wheels...?
I'm dead positive that this has been addressed more than multiple times...but alas, I need assistance!

I am interested in purchasing the below tire types:

2 Rear 19x10" Offset is 65mm. Bolt pattern is 5x120.65. Hub Size is 70.3

2 Front 18x8.5" Offset is 46mm. Bolt pattern is 5x120.65. Hub size is 70.3

Would they fit on a C5 Coupe (non z06)?

Yes they fit. I've heard it's 50/50 that you'll need to run a spacer so they don't rub on the inner wheel well due to the incorrect offset. I decided to run a 1" adapter to make them sit more flush with the outer wheel well. Here are some pictures:

This is what the C6 rear wheels look like without a spacer.

no spacers, rubbing so bad i need a new tire. prolly won't run into that unless your car is slammed tho. I'm going to space them out a little. They do look good on our cars though.

Are the C6 wheels shown GM wheels or are they C6 reproduction wheels made to fit C5's?

1/4 inch spacer here...allows plenty of stud length so you can tighten wheel nuts without fear of failure. I had rubbing on the inside before adding spacers.

Woops, that was the wrong picture. That one is the C5 wheel. Here is the C6 wheel, for comparison.

I also run C6 OEM's with a 1/4 spacer in the rear. No rubbing ever. Longer studs are not needed; you will get full thread engegement.
