Would these wheels fit?
Can wheels with these numbers fit on a C5?
17x8 - 6.125 backspace
17x10 - 7.125 backspace
Thanks!

Fronts (17x8 - 6.125 backspace = 41mm offset), will fit fine, no problem.
Rears (17x10 - 7.125 backspace = also 41mm offset), will fit, but the outside edge of the wheel will be about 3/8" out of the fenders.
You'd ideally want about a 52mm offset ( or 7.5" backspacing on a 10" wide wheel) to keep them fully tucked in the fenders.
