Default C6 GS wheels on c5

Would the c6 GS wheels fit properly on the c5? Anyone got pictures of them on their car? Poke, tuck, flush fitment?

If I'm not mistaken the C6 GS front wheel only has 40mm of offset, which will push it outwards on the car. You need more like 53-58mm to tuck into the front wheel well
Out back, the 19x12 isn't going to fit under the factory fender.
