Default Will these wheels fit? (specs included)

I have a set of Fittipaldi Tubolare's in 18x9.5 that were previously on my Camaro sitting in storage. I'm wondering if they would fit on the C5?

Here are the specs...
Front - 265/30/18's
Rear - 285/30/18's.

Offset is 7.25" Bolt pattern appears to be about 5x4.6ish

Almost forgot... if they do fit, will I have any troubles with ABS, TC, or the Speedo and what is the max. tire size I can run in the rear?

**EDITED** racewheel pointed out an error, specs corrected...

is the 10.5" measurment from outside edge to outside edge, if so they are 9.5" wide wheels. and if that is the case then at 7.25" backspacing they will fit reasonably well on a c5 although the front will be fairly close to the outside edge of the fender.

I did measure from outside-inside rim. Thanks for the clarification...

Is the 285 the widest tire I can go with on the back with the 9.5?

The 295 will fit on the 9.5, but you would be better off staying with the 285 as you wont have as much tire wall flex. :yesnod:
