Really need more information. The bolt pattern is the same. C5 and C6 stock wheels have different offsets. Since these are after market wheels, you can safely assume the bolt pattern matches stock, but you have no idea about the width or offset. To know if they will "fit", we really need to know the wheel widths and offsets.

OEM offsets:
C5 - 58 front/65 rear
C6 - 56 front/79 rear
OEM Widths:
C5 - 8.5/9.5
C6 - 8.5/10.0
So, with C5 offsets and 9.5 front and 11.0 rear widths, the fronts will extend about .4 inch further both inside and .6 inch outside. The rears will extend about 1.1 inches further outside and the inner clearance will only differ by 1mm.
I'd be concerned that you might rub the rear fender when the suspension compresses.
