Lots of things to consider when changing wheel/tire size. With a C6 you have to keep close to the original stagger between Front and Rear diameter to keep the computers happy. You are limited on wheel/tire diameter and width by the amount of room in the wheel wells and for brake clearance. You also have to be carefull of wheel design/shape for brake clearance.
Your best bet is to keep the original overall tire diameters and original wheel offsets. This doesn't really limit you, you can fit Rear tires from 17" to 20" and still maintain original overall diameters.

OK thanks the wheels I'm looking at a replica of the original base c6 or 5 star. I have on my car now are original standard 5 star 18 front 19 back.rear tire is 285/35/19 so the one I'm looking at 20x10 with 285/30/30 tire I'm really like the wide tire look

You do realize that the rear wheel is 19x10, so why change to a 20 inch wheel and also if you are changing wheels why are you sticking to a stock looking replica?

I just did a comparison on the tires and you will not have any more tire width and in fact the Overall Diameter is less with the 20 inch wheel. It is 26.73 in and the stock tire is 26.85 in.

A 285 wide tire is 285mm wide regardless of whether it's on a 17" or 20" wheel.
