For the most part they will fit, The offset on the rear is different and some have had to use 1/4 inch spacer on the rear to keep the inside of the tire from rubbing.

Correct, Use the tire sizes for those wheels and your C5 TPMS.

Had these on my car last year. Fronts don't need a spacer but the rears will need one. Factory C6 tire sizes.

I have c6 base wheels and they seem to sit it a little bit up front. Im thinking about adding a 1/4" or 3/8" spacer so they sit even with my rears (i have a 1" spacer with studs in the rear)

Most Rim shops carry them in stock!! I even went as far at to add Longer studs from Ebay just to be safe. But Every car is different by what type of shocks, Condition & Everything so I'm guessing that's why you just have to mount & See for yourself. They will all Bolt right on without a spacer. But if it's not flush with the Fender it might bother you or it might not. All based on your own personal feelings. Type of tire might have a factor as well to flush or not. So many factors...
