Fronts bolt right up and rear needs adapter spacer (for OEM C6's).

I have 1" adapter in the front with studs ground down 1/8 for clearence and 1.25 adapter bolted in the rear which puts all the wheels right at the inside edge of the fenders.

I don't have much with the C6's, they're one of three sets of wheels that get swapped around on the T/A. They were on there while I was polishing the lips on the wheels in my sig.

I have the 18/19 set up. I just used a 1.25" adapter in the rear. Although, now, every time i brake my ABS kicks in and it makes it VERY hard to drive everywhere.

If you search you may find negative "china junk" posts about buying ebay spacers on the forum however I purchased 1" and 1.25" lug centric Adapters (5x4.75 - 12mmx1.5 stud) for my OEM C6 wheels on Ebay.

Very simply, they are 6061-T6 aluminum turned to thickness on a laithe and then drilled and counterbored in a vertical mill. I measured mine and the tolerances are very good (within a couple thousanths +/- .0015).
Most importantly they come pressed with 10.9 Metric studs which is the highest strength SAE equivalent stud and lugs nuts.

You can spend more for H&R and the rest but you don't have to IMO!
