Default Anyone running c6 19x10's on their z28?

I am having major fit issues with the rear wheels on my 97 z28. The wheels are of a 07 cr and they are 19x10 with 285/40/19. If anyone has ever had problems with this, can you please tell me how you resolved it.

I put a spacer on and it still seems to rub on the inside.

285/40/18? That's a 27" tall tire! I ran 275/30/19 when I had my 19x10 C6's and they're 25.5" tall. 25.6" is the stock size. You need a 1.25" spacer/adapter to make them fit, but that's still a big tire.

sorry, they are 285/35/19. With that much of a spacer make the wheel stick out too much?

1.25" is perfect for the Camaro and the TA's can even handle a 1.5". Here's what they look like with 1.25"

I just installed longer studs, so I guess I just need the right spacer now. Thanks for all the help.

Any suggestions on what spacer kit to buy and where from?

Actually, you'll need to get rid of those longer studs if you go with the type of spacer we're talking about. It's a 1.25" adapter that bolts to the stock studs and then you bolt the wheel to the new studs on the adapter. If you have longer studs, then the new longer studs won't fit flush with the adapter and won't let your wheel seat on the adapter.
