No adapters needed! It was either a 1/4 or a 5/16 wheel spacer. WE did have to hammer in the wheel well in two places on each side. Nothing major though. Not the lip.

I have them on a 99 Z now. Had to use a small spacer and did a little of the bfh mod just to be sure it would clear on the rears, but the fronts didn't have a problem.

Make sure you check how many threads you have if you use a spacer. You may have to use longer studs. The 1" and up spacers bolt on and have their own set of studs.

Nope no longer studs needed. It worked perfect. We had no problems.

OEM C6 rear wheels are +79 offset. Most are using the 1.25" adapter to bolt over your existing studs to fit them and keep from rubbing on the inner fenderwell.

Vette wheels on my 95 fit great with a little BFH on the inners in the back, nothing drastic, works like a champ, no rubbing.

We need to be sure which which wheel your using. The thread title says "Factory C6 18/19".
OEM C6 vette wheels are +79 rear offset, not 65 as mentioned in post 5. Follow the link I posted earlier, there are more links and info in that thread that should help.

Had these Factory C6 18/19 wheels on the 98 Red anniv SS pictured below and did not need any adapters just a thin wheel spacer, and did not have to replace with longer wheel studs...but do whatever you think
