Default C6 rims work on C5 ????

Have an opportunity to buy some C6 chrome spoke rims ( not split spoke ) with tires for cheap. If i remember reading some where they will work, but need spacers and will stick out slightly. Am i correct ? Car is lowered 1 inch. Could that be a prblem also ? Any one have pics of these rims on a C5 from a C6 ?

Some peolpe say they need spacers and others don't. They should not stick out if you get the correct spacers. As far as beeing lowered it will not affect it.

Yours are from a C6 ? Did you use spacers ? How much ? My C5 is silver also, but in a hatch. Looks good.

i have a set on mine right off a c6 with the stock c6 tires no fitment issues but they could be spaced out a bit in the rear the inside of the tires are very close to the inner well.
