    a 1.5" spacer for the rear would be ideal. i've had factory C6 wheels on both my cars with no spacers. took a fair amount of wheelwell modifying to get the rears to fit. here's some pics.





    Cold Air Intake, Muffler Delete, Vinci High Performance Dual Valve Springs, Hardened Pushrods, Yella Terra 1.85 Rockers, Some Hydropdipped Stuff, Strut Tower Brace, Some SS Badges, boost/vacuum gauge, fuel pressure gauge, some checkered stripes, drilled/slotted rotors, ZL1addons Stealth wickerbill, Ruxifey LED side markers

    Before you order spacers be advised that wheel spacers will cause wheel vibrations at higher speeds (>55mph). Since there are many manufacturers that make aftermarket wheels, just order the correct offset so that you won't have to modify anything.

    by reading his initial post, it seems he already has the factory 19" C6 wheels.

    they all look like that. is there an ABS sensor located at the axle? i'm going to guess no.

    removed the ebrake liner, if you are putting longer studs in. just drill a hole through the backing plate.
