I just bought a full set of C6 wheels from a friend of mine who put aftermarket wheels on his vette and before i get them powdercoated i wanted to make sure they would fit. the 18s in the front seemed to fit fine but the 19x 10 (maybe 10.5) are too wide. i was wondering if anybody knew whether i should get adapters or spacers. and what size. i need to find out ASAP. thank you all in advance
just put a set on my 02. fronts will fit fine, rear will need a 1.25 inch spacer. Trust me it will look great!
I'm putting mine on tomorrow. I got 1 inch H&R spacers. could work with a 3/4 spacer, but I wanted spacers with the studs built into them. There's alot of people who use spacers to make the wheels work on our cars. :)

here's the wheels on my car with the spacer. :)
thanks man so the spacer u got already has lugs built into it?
ya, most 1 inch spacers do. I'd suggest them over the washer-style ones that just slide on, especially since you'd need longer studs. You'll need to use a sawz-all or a dremel tool to cut the studs down a 1/4 inch. I used a sawzall with great success, no sparks or anything flying around. Make sure you don't cheap out on the spacers too, seeing as you'll most likely be driving fast. I dropped $180 on some H&R's. They fit precisely and I feel safe with them.
What color are you going? I hope not all black.
i am. why do you ask. i have lots of appearance plans for the car. such as getting my brother to paint the emblems black the bird on the front lp black and the grand sport fender stripes in black
you could also use the bfh way to fit too. but spacers are good too.

I have 4x 18x10.5 C6 wheels in my car... pix in link in signature.
guess just depends if you want your rims to stick out. i have 17x11 on the back of my bird. and didnt want alot of tires stickin out so i use the bfh way.
