Yes, they'll fit.. the bolt pattern on C5s is the same as F-Bodies.

Me'thinks, the Anti-lock brakes may cause problem, due to different wheel & tire front to back..
Also the offset may be wrong for T/A's

I bought and installed 18"X9.5 C5 replica rims, and they are fine with 275/35ZR18's

vette rims right off of a c5 i believe have the wrong offset. aftermarket replicas are made with the correct offset to fit the f-body, but as far as i know, the offset of OE c5 wheels is wrong for our f-bodies...

they will work. i had a set wheels off of a 98 corvette on my 95 trans am. the only thing i needed to make them work was an 1/8" spacer for the back wheels. but you dont need it unless you drive aggresively. but since you own an f-body im sure you sometimes do.
