Default Wheel Spacer Questions

Does anyone know what the spacer sizes need to be for a set of C6 wheels on a 2000 WS6. The fronts are 18s and the backs are 19s. Also what tires sizes would you recommend. Thanks for the help.

BTW the widths of the fronts are 8.5 and the back is 10. I have read a lot of post and the stickys about spacing but I havent found this exact question. Im sure its in there somewhere but dont have time to read over 1000 post. From what I have gathered my guess for the rears are ~42mm. Any help would be very appreciated

For the rear 19x10's on a TA you can use a 1.5" or 1.25" spacer. On Camaro's, you'd only want to use a 1.25" spacer.

To keep it from looking odd, I'd run 255/35/18 tires on the front and 285/30/19 tires on the rear.

When I had C6 rims, I went 19x10 all the way around and used 275/30/19 tires, but it was a ROUGH ride and didn't keep them long at all...
