Default Wheel Adapters for using C5 wheels on a C3

Hi all looking for some good advice. I have a 76 Vette I’m planning on using C5 Z06 wheels on. I understand that I am going to need to use hub adapters to run them. The C5 Z06 wheels are the 17 x 9’s . Has anyone used this set up and what wheel adapters did you use? Looking for quality. Planning on using them for running autocross meets and hopefully running on some of the tracks close to where I live. Thanks!

Most have been successful with 2.5" on all corners

Looking forward to seeing some pics when your done, and what product you decide on. I currently have the same question for my 75 with plans to mount these c5 z06 rims. I've encountered mixed bag of opinion for and against the spacers. I'm not going to autocross but will find the strongest product I can find and upgrade the lug bolts regardless. For anyone else thinking about how the tire/rim combo compares to OEM I've added some pics. Tires are 275/40/17's.
