Ksths2,

#1 If you check the C-6 parts for sale section, you should see nice polished wheels with no issues for $400-$600. I would not pay $500. for C-6 wheels unless they were very nice.

#2. I have tried this conversion on a friends C-5. The fronts will bolt on and fit and run perfectly. On most C-5's that I have read on the Forum,
the rears run a bit too close to the inside well as it pertains to tire clearance. My friends C-5 needed a spacer of approximately 1/4" for tire clearance. This is due to the increased positive offset of the C-6 rear wheel only. Front offset is fine.

#3. Lug nuts will work.

#4. C-5 sensors will not work in C-6 cars and vice versa but as you asked you can use your C-5 sensors in the C-6 wheels with no problems.


#5. You did not ask this but in case you want to know, the C-6 stock tires and wheels and C-5 stock tires and wheels are close enough that the very slight difference in OVERALL DIAMETER does not affect the computers as to AH, TC, ABS, or Speedometer Error. Your C-5 will not know or care that you have C-6 wheels as long as you use the stock C-6 tire sizes, your C-5 sensors, and probably a 1/4" spacer in the rear only.

Hope this helps you.
