To follow up, I couldn't make the calipers work on my c6 replica 17s. I put a 1" wheel adapter on for my spacer, but I ground the crap out of the first caliper trying to get the rim to clear. Basically, that tapered barrel of the replica wheel makes it unreasonable on my setup. Sucks, because they looked really awesome in mock up.

I run a 18mm spacer all the time. But with my stock zr1 wheels i needed a super small spacer on top of that just to clear the stock. It was just barely touching. Im not sure what size it is. I would say around 3/4 inch all together.
My wheels sits pretty flush with the fender, maybe in a little. But with the 18x10.5 c5z wheels its not noticeable. When i run my z06 wheels i put a spacer in the back to so its less noticeable.
