Default OEM c5 z06 wheels

i got a set of OEM c5 zo6 wheels off of ryan r. (96-speed) they should be here pretty soon. i know the fronts are gonna fit without any problems. from searchin i understand they'll fit almost exactly like an ss wheel. for the rears though, am i going to have to get a set of spacers AND take a BFH to my wheel well? or can i get away with just one? if i do need spacers...what size? and if i have to pound the wheel well...where at? i was told 9:00. the car isnt lowered yet and wont be for a while.

sorry if all this is repetitive but i just want to make sure before i get in there and beat the ish out of my car or waste cash on spacers i dont really need. thanks for your guys' help and special thanks to ryan for helpin out a college kid.

Do you know what the offset is for the rears?

I used 1/8" spacers to fit mine. I also did the BFH mod very slightly, but I really don't think it was necessary. I am not lowered though, on a lowered vehicle you will most likely need both.
