They have the same bolt pattern but the issue with C6 or C6/Z06 wheels is with the backspacing when used on a C5 or C5/Z06. You have to figure out how to deal with that (spacers or adapters).
For that reason, many use reproduction wheels that look like C6 or Z06 wheels but have C5 or C5/Z06 specs. Be aware that the reproduction wheels are a few pounds each heavier, however.
Here's the specs...
Backspace/offset dimensions are as follows:
C5 coupe/convertible:
Front 17x8.5", +58mm offset = 7.03" backspace
Rear 18x9.5", +65mm offset = 7.81" backspace
C5/Z06:
Front 17x9.5", +54mm offset = 7.38" backspace
Rear 18x10.5", +58mm offset = 8.03" backspace
C6 coupe/convertible:
Front 18x8.5", +56mm offset
Rear 19x10", +79mm offset
C6/Z06:
Front 18x9.5", +40mm offset
Rear 19x12", +59mm offset

Quick answer yes. But they will stick out of the fender wells and the rear wheels are real close to the tub & rear fender liner. I have not experienced any rubbing, but did install L5 fenders in the rear and upgraded to C6 Z06 suspension with the exception of the springs.
