I have a chance to buy a set of c6 wheels and tires.
Sizes are: 255-40-18 fronts and 285-35-19 rears.
Will these fit my stock c5 without any issues?
Thanks
Because of difference in rear offsets you may decide to add a spacer to get a more flush look. But they'll work. I'm assuming with a 285 they're not 12" wheels.

Another alternative is wheel adapters. To bring the C6 wheels and tires out flush to the fenders you need about a 1" wheel adapter, the minimum thickness they are made in. Most are looking for the flush appearance but your tastes may accept the "sunk in" appearance that the C6 wheels will have when mounted on a C5. There are also reproduction C6 wheels made in offsets that work better on the C5 than do the C6 factory offsets.
