Default C7 GS wheels question

Hey all, I know this has probably been covered, but can anyone tell me real quick if C7 Grand sport wheels/tires with OEM 285/19 and 335/20 will fit on a 2005 C6 Z51? Will they stick out too much and/or rub the fenders? Thanks in advance

No idea on the fitment question, but I bet you can get some real cheap since all of them seem to be bending at even the slightest bump in the road.
