I got a buddy that tried putting on some C5 Z06 wheels and the rears where to wide so they might not work it just depends on the width.

The backs will not fit.... use 2 sets of fronts one for the back and one for the front.... that offset is just gonna be trouble 79mm........ GTO can use like a 45mm offset

I think you're going to have to roll you fenders and plop some stiffer springs back there... the 19x10 is going to be iffy...

yes they will fit , and YES you need more parts to make them work , a friend of mine has them on his 04

the rears with 285's , he is using a 1 1/4" spacer on the rear , the fronts he has 225's and a 5-6mm spacer i think

ideally the rear offset needs to be 52-54mm , and front 40-46mm

i have c5 zo6 wheels on mine front and back. i am still on stock suspension with 285 45 zr 17's on the front. and 285 45 zr 18's on the back. all i had to use is a 5/16th spacer bought at autozone for the front and the back. i took a piece of 3" pipe and rolled my rear fenders. took a rubber mallet and formed the innner fenders so the tires would not rub. rear only!! so you do not have to go and spend alot of money to do it... and i am still useing the stock wheel lugs...

nope (but close enough that you can get them mounted (if you push hard enough) any quality tire shop won't mount them on your car)

you may wanna double check that,

5x120 isn't the same as 5x120.7
