Type in corvette wheel adapter at ebay or follow the link below. You're looking for 5 x 4.75 spacing and you'll need a 1.5" adapter.

The key word is "adapter" and not "spacer" Adapters bolt to the hub using the stock studs and the adapter has a separate set of studs for wheel attachment. Many adapters use a conical lugnut that will stick out beyond the adapter mounting flange on the whee side. OEM wheels usually have a recess in the wheel flange that will allow you to use these conical nuts.

If the wheels you are using have a flat mounting surface, (no recesses) than the adapter cannot have anything sticking out beyond the adapter mounting flange.
