Are they going to be at least 17" rims?
In talks with both the Bogart guys and the Holeshot wheel guys it was determined that getting a 16" wheel to properly fit the C6 was almost impossible.
Though 16" rims (on the back at least) would be a more ideal choice for a drag radial set up.
In reference to your actual questions, I'm not quite sure how to take those measurements though I can tell you that a 15" wheel will not fit and even most 16" wheels (depending on width and offset) will not fit either on the stock brake/stock spindle/stock suspension set up without at least some grinding or massaging.

i wouldn't buy a wheel from someone who doesnt have the c6 in his shop to take the measurements his self. if you give him the wrong measurements or even give him the right ones you bought it if it doesn't fit. if these guys want to enter the c6 market they have to get a test car
Yeah it does seem a bit risky dropping nearly $2k based entirely off of your own piece of paper like that. 
Though a lightweight, one piece 16x10 wheel that fits would be awesome.
