Default C6 wheels on a C5

I'm sure this has been asked before but cant seem to find any info.

Will stock C6 wheels fit on a C5?
I know the size will fit, I'm concerned about the offset.

The fronts will work fine but the 79mm offset on the rears will cause some inboard clearance problems. At the minimum you'll need a 1/4 inch spacer - a 1/2 inch hub adapter would be better.

Thanks, actually thinking of selling them for something else. Not sure yet. Wish they made a drag radial in 19".

I have a set of the Magnesium c6 rims myself, was thinking of having them chromed and putting on my 01, but starting to think of just selling them, any idea of worth?
