Default C6 Wheels

I ran a search, and I cant find what I need.

I bought a set of 2006 C6 wheels, and I am having a hard time installing the rear wheels. they are 285/35/19 and i think they are rubbing.

what spacers and studs do you guys recommend? thanks.

You will need a 1.25" wheel adapter if the wheels have a 79mm offset. Can be bought on e-bay for $55.

Hey, i just bought those rims too. They should be in sometime in the next week, and that was the last thing i wanted to read. Where does it look like there rubbing at? What size are you fronts? Did they mount okay? Send me a pm or something, cause i feel like we might both be up the same tree.

That's exactly why I went with 18x10.5 with 285/35 in the rear. They are close enough to rubbing!

The rear gole in the center of the wheel may have to be "relieved" a little by using a file or mototool. If I remember right the center part of the hub is a little bigger on the axle, but not much.
If it is too small - DO NOT FORCE the wheel on - ream out the hole a little

Chime in guys if I'm wrong!
