Negative.. That is for the OE C6 wheels

EDIT: I did some more research.. You are right the OEM C6 wheels require the spacers..

Ok then, here is my question. Will the OE C6 wheels (18s) bolt right up then w/o any spacers?

Also what is the biggest tire that I can run on both front and rear wheels?

OE I have seen state in numerous threads that their wheels fit with no spacers or anything at stock ride height.

OP, do you have a load on the suspension or is it dangling in the air you notice all of this?

Thanks for your reply. All of this was done while the car was on the lift. It looks like the rears are sitting on the bumpstops so bad that we were worried about dropping it down off the lift to see if it would slide by. Do you think putting a load in the suspension might help with getting the fronts to work?

Thanks,

JB

Yes I do. I am positive I read about this exact situation, they dropped it onto the ground and tried it and they fit. You should try loading the suspension, and THEN putting the wheels on also.

Thanks for the tip.

Just took a look at the car and it looks like the fronts may slide by once the suspension has a load on it. The rears should now clear the bump stops, however it will likely take a bit of BFH to keep the sides from rubbing.

would that 1.25" adapter be too wide for 10.5" wheels with a 58mm offset?
