Default C5 / C6 Wheel Question

I have a set of 18" and 19" Chrome Motorsports on my C5 and would like to put them on a C6 if I purchase one ( Don't like the Polished ones on the car )
Are they interchangeable for bolt pattern and offset ?

Nope. Fronts will look okay but the rears will stick out from the fender on the C6. Ask me how I know.

Thanks for your reply and experience. I plan on finalizing the deal on Monday for the C6.

Lockshed.

After reviewing what I had originally posted, it certainly did not sound very nice, please see my following post.

Lockshed, ByByBMW is correct, my apoligies, it is a fair question. I probably did not give enough details in my request for information. A big for me.

The wheels and tires were purchased from Bob at House of Wheels when he was running one of his Motorsport specials . Front is 18 " with 265/35ZR18 Pilot Sports and the rears are 295/35ZR19 with Pilot Sports.

Geeesh, maybe I should just call Bob , he will know if anybody does. I should have had that second coffee sooner !!
