Default Will these offsets work on a c5?

Hello, Im lookin at purchasing some wheels and would like to know if these offsets will work. fronts are 18 x 10 +55 offset and rears are 19 x 11 +71 offset. if not, will they work with a spacer? any info is appreciated.

The fronts are fine, but the rears may rub the inner fender well depending on how low your car is

You would need just under a 1/2 inch spacer on the rear to be in the ballpark. The front should work out ok.
