C7 Grand Sports are widebody cars so even though those wheels will bolt on a C5 with oem fenders, the fit leaves a little to be desired. The front wheels are 19x10's with +43 offset, which will cause poke The rears are 20x12's with +59 offset, too wide to fit under an oem C5 fender, which results in noticeable poke, as well. Base C7 front wheels will fit fine. The rears will too, with the addition of a 20mm spacer.

Got it thank you..I think I will just go with the Spec Corvette wheels. They look great like the original C5 factory wheels and supposed to fit narrow bodies.
