Take the car out and bottom the suspension with a speedbump or pothole and draw your own conclusions about acceptable fender damage.
Those are not correct for your C6.

Those wheels probably have C5 offset's which are different, as you're not the first person coming accross this problem. No way I'd ever accept that look on my car, and they've definitely got to go.

I doubt they will take them back. Most vendors state in TINY PRINT that wheels must not have tires mounted to be returnable.
But you definitely do not have right offset. Did you enquire as to what they were prior to purchase. IF you did, and they told you it was correct you may have some recourse.
