Default Started research, but....

just plain quit. So, let me just ask the experts on here. I have a C5 convertible ('01) with the stock wheel setup. Some dude is selling some cheap wheels, which I believe are a C6 setup, which are as follows:
FRONT 18"X 8.5" w/ 56mm offset
REAR 19" X 10" w/ 79mm offset

Will they fit on the '01? If so, need spacers? Will it look out of place? Also, what are good tire sizes for these wheels?

I'd appreciate anyone's response which could help. I was considering buying new tires (it needs them bad), but as an option to keeping the stock setup, I figured I'd check with the forum members for some guidance on getting this set up. Can anyone help or have pictures?

Thanks!
