wheel spacer
The wheel offsets for the rear C6 is different than say the c5 Z06. I don't know why some have used spacers to bring the wheel/tire out to the edge of the wheel well . The rear brake ducting interference is a tire diameterand /or side wall aspect issue usually, going from an 18" to 19" wheel .

C6 Z06 Wheels and Nitto Invo's installed, 275/35 18 up front and 325/30 19 out back. No spacers, had to remove rear brake ducts to fit the 12" wide rear wheels. This is very easy to do. Fronts stick out a less then a 1/2" and I'm not to crazy about this, will deal with it for now until I can afford a wide body kit or go with a different set up??. Rears look Sweet and only stick out about 1/4". The C6Z06 Wheels are heavier, I do not have exact weights but I have not noticed a difference yet. Next issue is she needs to be lowered and I need to figure out the best way to do this without damaging the tires? This is just after install and she dose not sit this tall now as she as settled..

These are C6 wheels on ym C5 with L5 Fenders i needed a 5/8th spacer to get the wheels to clear and keep from rubbing since my car is lowered with coilovers.

Did you install longer studs? And where did you get them?
