If they are 18/19” wheels, then they are aftermarket. All years of the C5 came stock with the 17/18” wheels. There should be no problems goin with the 18/19” wheels as long as the offset and width is correct and you use an appropriately sized tire to maintain the proper diameter stagger front to rear.

Excellent size choice with the right profile tires. A little lowering will do wonders for the look of your car.
