Default Will C5 rims and tires fit on 2000 SS?

The rims are polished C5 17x8.5x58 with 285/40/18 tires in the front and 18x9.5x65 rims with 285/40/18 tires on the rear. Will I need wheels spacers if they are stock Corvette wheels? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

You should be fine without spacers. Slap them on and go.

Might need the BFH mod for the rear inner fender wells...
I put thin spoke oem c5 vette wheels on my old 98 z28 and needed to hammer small spots of the rear fender wells in that were touching the tires

I just orderd new wheels for my 2000 SS and I wanted C5 specs so that it would be easier to sell in the future. And front is the same and I got 0.190" Spacers for the rear.

Where would you recommend buying wheel spacers? The 20mm or .190 inch spacers should work on the rear with the C5 rims? I am not into the BFH mod so I am hoping to make something work. I understand no spacers on the front as they are the same size as the stock SS wheels. Thanks guys for the responses.
