They'll fit, the only question is whether or not you'll need a small spacer for caliper clearance. You could go ahead and get them, then carefully bolt on one front and one rear before mounting the tires. See if the spokes clear the calipers. If not you'll need a 3mm or 5mm spacer and E-T (Extended Thread) lug nuts.

The C6 and the C5 are two different fitments at the rear. So they are probably asking the buyer to specify the car.

But aftermarket C6 fitments would be expected to fit the C7. However, most merchants wait for the wheel vendor to list the wheels for the actual car

Well, the rear wheel is listed as 19 x 10 65mm. The 10" wheel width is for OEM tire sizes and the 65mm offset is to push the OEM tire closer to the fender line. But on a C5 it would pull the rear tire in.

I would suggest finding wheels at 9.5"/11" widths with wheel offsets of 56mm to 52mm front and 79mm to 74mm rear. And then the tire sizes would be 265/35-18 with 305/30-19
