this may not help you but here is a idler pulley off of a 2006 GTO the diameter is just shy of 3"

I used a dial caliper, its 3 inches.

That must be my problem, I guess I need either find a 3 inch idler or play with belt lenght.
Mesquitebean is the one you messured a C5 or part number 12568996?
Thanks for the help!
