OEM Z06 fitment problems The rears are rubbing against the bump stop. I've read that I'll need a 5/16" spacer in order to not have to bfh the wheel well and also have it sit more flush with the outter wheel well. Will I be able to run my stock studs or will I need to get longer ones?

i have the same problem with the 18x 10.5 c5 zo6 on the back i have bought the 5/16 and the still slightly rub , so I have been told my only other option is to buy the 1 inch adapter. Sucks but i wish i knew what to do as well?

When you say they're rubbing the bump stop, is that when it is on the ground, or when you've got the car jacked up by the frame rails? If the latter, jack your car up from the differential housing, so the whole axle is lifted at once. I learned to do this when I ran 17x11" ZR1s, and I've done it ever since. The chances of you fully extending your suspension to the point where it would hit under normal driving are pretty slim, unless you do some Dukes of Hazard style jumps.
