Hi Brad, I don't know about your rims but here is what I have and maybe it will help you. I have four C-5 OEM rear wheels on all four corners of my C-6. wheels are stock C-5 rear--18x9.5 with a 65mm offset. Tire sizes are 275x35x18 front (Michelin Pilot Sport ZP)
and 275x40x18 rear (Michelin Pilot Sport AS ZP)

There are no issues with AH, ABS, or TC. The fit is perfect. I have pictures of the car and if you E-mail me I will send them to you. Hope this helps. I think that offset is close enough to stock to work.
The figures that I have for stock C-5 offset are 58mm front and 65mm rear .

Those wheels will fit your car just great. The stock rear wheels (18x9.5") have a 65mm offset so these will sit out an extra 7mm, which wont cause any problems. You'll be fine in the front as well.
