Would these fit on my c5 corvette? And if so, how would the fitment be? If anyone has wheels with the same specs I’d greatly appreciate some info. I’d imagine I’d need a spacer on the rear to avoid rubbing.

Those will bolt on the car but fit poorly. The fronts won't have enough offset to keep from poking and the rears are way too wide for a C5, with oem fenders.
No offset on them, he ran on a 2006 zo6. I don’t mind a bit of poke
Well, the offset should be shown on the back side of the wheels.
Front might be useable with a little poke, rears I doubt would even bolt on without some wheel spacers, and then would poke way out.

How much rear flare would I need to make the backs fit?
How much rear flare would I need to make the backs fit?
Most but not all widebody rear quarters are 2" wider. Those will work but since your rear wheels are a C6 fitment, you will probably have to also use spacers, for a proper fit.

im liking the look of c5s with only the wide rears quarters, how much poke would the front me having if I left them stock? I don’t mind some meat.
Yes if the wheels poke, flares could definitely fix it.
However then the project goes from a $2-3k set of new wheels and tires to $10k+ after wheels, tires, flares, paint & prep.
In the end, it's was a worthwhile dragon to chase but it gets pricey.
ahhhh man that’s steep. Yah I think I will stick with c6 grand sport wheels. I really dig those too and I wouldn’t need a wide body either. Gotta save for a rear end rebuild cause I got the original transmission from 2003 and I’ve been getting p1870 (slip code that causes max line pressure) whenever I do long drives. Goes away when I clear the code so let’s just hope it’s nothing major 🤞

How would you do GS wheels?
They are only 1/2" narrower than the wheels you were talking about, basically about the same kind of deal to make them fit.
