Default C7 wheels on C5

Looking at at set 285/30ZR20 rear and 245/35ZR19 front off of a C7, would these fit on my C5?

I believe you'll have to space the rears out a bit

My C5 had C7 ZO6 wheels on it and still does. The rears have spacers and wide body fenders. I like the look of the wheels but I do not care for the fitment on the front. The tire sticks out past the edge of the fender by just a little and it drives me crazy!!

The fronts will fit just fine. I also believe you will need a spacer for the rears to fit properly.

Mine has C7 wheels 20mm spacers in the rear.
Perfect fitment. My car is lowered on stock bolts.
