If I remember correctly they will but spacers are required.

Do a search I'm sure it will come up!

Easy answer...no, not as a direct bolt on due to different offsets.

But they do sell C7 style wheels via the aftermarket in the correct C5 sizes. Multiple posts here recently about this topic. I suggest a search for more details.

Going the reproduction route would certainly be an option to consider.

Well it just so happens that I've got a couple pics of a C5 vert with repro C7 wheels. These are the stock 17/18 set up. I checked. Also, one beautiful C5. The guy who made the changes did a great job. These pics were taken at a Cars and Coffee in Cary, NC.
