Default Tire Rim Offset

Guys on all stock C5’s the rear tires especially look a bit whimpy since they are not really flush with the rear quarter panels. Does anyone have a way to get those tires/rims to read kinda like the zo6 where the tire is practically flush with the edge of the quarter panel. I want to keep the same rims and tires. Is there a spacer available to achive this without having to change all the studs?

There are companies that build spacers that go between the wheel and hub. The largest I've seen is 1/4 inch, which may not be enough to give you the look you want. Also, by putting something between the wheel and hub, you won't be able to put the lugnuts on as far, and that can be a safety concern. Some companies, like mine, won't allow the use of spacers in there stores.

The best way to fix your problem would be to go with a wider tire, or different wheel & tire combo.

Hope this helps!
