I have a 2001 c5 corvette base model and I’m looking to update the look of the car. Im currently looking at getting wheels and I see this c6 wheels that has the dimensions of 18x9.5 40mm offset and 19x12 30mm offset. Will they fit on my car?
My car is completely stock just an fyi. I don’t mind it poking out because I’m planning on getting a widebody kit later on.
I just did the research and all you need is the wheel spacers for the two rear wheels. I bought one inch spacers, the rest just bolts up as usual. Mine will be mounted this week and I'll post the pics. I've seen quite a few and in no way does it look like a race car like the pic above.

I think you're referring to C6 base wheels. I'm pretty sure the wheels pictured and the specs provided are those of the C6 Grand Sport which will definitely poke out back on a C5 with stock fenders.

This pic is the ACTUAL C6 GS rims with a 1.5 inch spacer (I know...too much, but I went widebody after this pic was taken), they don't poke as much as an previous posters pic, but just a tad in the front and back, you could probably go with a 1/2 inch spacer in the rear so the tires don't rub the inner fender well. There is no spacers on the fronts as they fit fine.
Many people don't seem to know the difference between "will they bolt on" or "will they actually fit the car". Just because wheels will bolt onto a car, doesn't mean they fit it.
Tires poking out of the fenders 1/2" or even more, is not a fine fit.

Update: they’re not 30mm offset the seller mistakenly put that; it’s actually 59mm
