OEM C6's 18/19 with 1" adapter in front, 1.25" adapter rear.
I had posted a set that I found on Craigslist selling cheap, come spring I may sell these locally as well... I have 5 different sets of wheels and tires now.

I never really appreciated the look of the C6 rims until now. They look great on the camaros as well as the firebirds. You really cant go wrong with chrome or black.(black having the polished lip of course)

I don't have any pics now but I got the same wheels on my SS and you don't need spacer for the front, just the rears and I think I used 1" only, cuz the stock offset of F-bodys is around 50mm so 79mm - 25mm (1") = 54mm
I got my spacer from Egay for around $60 shipped !!! Good Luck...

Guess I will chime in with my Firechicken. Not OE Wheels, but they are the exact same thing. Got em from Tomz Wheels when he was in business. C6 Motorsport in 18X9.5 front and 18X10.5 in the rear with no spacers so far. Running Nitto NT 555 285/35/18 all the way around.

i just went through this, found a set of OE polished 18x9 and 19x10 c6 wheels with tires on craigslist for $700. thought i got a deal and was all set..ended up needing 1.25" spacers in the rear. fronts didn't need spacers to bolt up but sit about 1" deeper vs replicas made with proper backspacing for f-bodys. as mentioned, find some billet spacers on the bay for 50-60 bucks and you're rolling.

Good deal, did u guys have issues with rubbing after spacers? also im assuming u have enough thread on the studs still after the spacer is on for a good enough lockdown on the rims right?

why is everyone saying 1" spacer on the front? that is NOT correct for OEM C6 wheels on an F-body. i've ran OEM C6s on my old Z28 and have them on my T/A now. if you have TRUE OEM vette wheels, you only need 1.25" rear adapters. that is all.
