Default wheels and tires

What do you guys think? Im thinking of buying a set of C6 VETTE wheels
18's in the front and 19's in the back

and I was told that I would need to do some work so they could fit properly, if so what exactly do I need to do?

this guy is selling his set for 325 wich i think is an awesome deal and im thinking of painting them black wich should look badass lol

Meh. I dislike the look of black painted stock wheels. Makes it look like you're too cheap to buy chrome wheels, which usually is the case.

Not sure what modifications are required, if any though.

Mine came with painted stockers, but i agree completely.

In his case, they wont look cheap, since they are not the stock wheels for his car... But if they were YOUR stockers, yes, cheapskate!!

You need a spacer for the rear i believe. The fronts fit fine, but i believe the rear has a 79mm offset, kick it out to around 50mm and you will be fine
