I purchesed a set of c6 5 spoke wheels off craigslist this morning for 630 bucks with eagle one run flats 70% tread, but my excitment was short lived. I attempted to mount the rears which are 285/35/19 and quickly relized the scrub the inside of the wheel well . I need some help ! What size spacers do I need? And will the fenders need to be rolled out?

1.25" adapters/spacers on the rear...actually if you've got a TA, you can even use 1.5" if you'd like a little wider stance. They will fit perfectly once you get the spacers. I paid $67 shipped for mine of of eBay. Look for 5x4.75 spacers/adapters. Fenders won't need rolling after that.
However, if you're running the stock C6 tires, then there's a good possibility it will set off your ABS light. It doesn't like tires that are more than 1" larger in overall height.
Here's a pic of what you're looking for:

OK waiting on ordered spacers the ones I bought locally turned out to be converter spacers. They accept a 5x120 and step down to 5x115 (mustang) I believe. Well I have a TA the front fenders look like they are slightly wider then on the camaro. I tired them on the front without a spacer and it looks sunk in. So I ordered 1.25 in the rear and 1 inch in the front. I'll post after install thanks for all the help guys. P.S on the bright side the guy I got the spacers from felt bad and gave me a k&n Original intake for the 50 bucks! SCORE!
