Will C6 ris fit Camaro?
I already have installed a set of C6 rims on my 2000 camaro and i like the way the rear 19s look better than i do the front 18s. so my question is can i fit a set of C6 19x10s in the front without any scrubbage? i had to use 2 quarter inch spacers for the rear that is why i am weary. does anybody have these on their camaro or trans am with the 19x10s all the way around?

Yes, I HAD 19x10's all the way around w/275/30/19 tires. I missed the C5 Z06 look and just went back to them and I have a buyer supposed to be picking up my C6's tomorrow night.
But yes, with 1.25" spacer/adapters all he way around, and 275/30/19 tires all the way around, I had no problems. I'm also lowered with an Eibach Pro-Kit.
I didn't have an ABS problem, however, from what I understand anything that's over an inch difference in overall diameter will cause the ABS problems. I orignally planned to go staggered and I was going to run 255/35/18's on the front w/275/30/19's...they're within an inch of each other....

Seem like a lot of people keep misunderstanding the fact that its not the rim size that causes ABS or TCS issues. Its the OVERALL DIAMETER OF THE TIRE. Stock Corvette tire sizes are probably more than an inch difference. They've been designed to perform with staggered sizes. For staggered diameters to work on a normal car, you must match tire diameters. This means using a larger, un-matched aspect ratio up front. Which, IMO, looks terrible, and i'm sure, effects the vehicles handling in a negative way. The corvettes body lines are sculpted in a way to conform to a larger rear wheel. An f-body, not so much. In fact, I do believe the front wheel arches are very slightly larger.
Keep the staggered diameters on the high end sports cars/supercars that are designed for them.
I'm sorry, this subject always annoys me. I was bord, so i figured i'd vent. No disrespect to anyone that has a similar setup on their car.

I am still waiting for my custom spacers/adapters for my '98 Formula. I will be running OEM C6 19x10s on all four. Going to try 295/30-19s on the front, 305s on the rear (they are so very close in size/diameter).
Upon BandDirector's good info/help/success, I test fitted this combo with all 1.25" adapters, and those would have worked fine front AND rear. However, to help give a somewhat 'staggered appearance', I decided to go 1.50" for the rear spacers, and 1.00" on the front. Regardless of the spacer/adapter, I am going to have to heatgun/re-contour the front portion of the front plastic wheelwell to keep from rubbing. I figured I will still have about 1/2" clearance from hitting the nut-and-cotter pin on the upper balljoint. I may need to roll the fender lip on the rear, but might just clear the inner wheelwell seatbelt bulge without the BFH.
At stock ride height, I don't see this as an overly 'tight fit' that can't be overcome with a few simple mods.

I'm looking forward to seeing 500hpZ06's pics as soon as he's done! However, I would like to point out to everyone else that if you go with a 1" spacer/adapter, you will most likely have to grind your stock studs down a little in order to clear them so the wheel will fit flush. The 1.25" spacers work great with NO grinding required on the stock studs.

My custom adapters are ready, and should be on their way. Hopefully have them on, and get some pics this weekend.
Will try to get around to all the C6 wheels/all 4 @ 19x10 threads and share my results/required 'mods'.

If you're running the standard C6 19x10 and 18x8.5, then you ONLY need the 1.25" spacers for the REAR wheels. the 18x8.5's will fit on the front without any issues without spacers.
Yes, those are the correct spacers except that auction is for 4 spacers and you only need 2.
