C6 Z06 Deep Dish: Require New Wheel Studs?

I am hose modded in the rear.
C6 18x10.5
Spacers are required for it to sit flush, otherwise it will look just how stock was and seem like the rears are "pulled in". The lugs barely make the required turns for a full lock without spacers, so with spacers you will be looking at longer studs at minimum. Without spacers, you will be fine without extended studs.
Some people say you can use an extremely thin spacer without extended lugs but I wouldn't trust it.
For fitment, very slight BFH on the inner tirewell, more or less where the metal comes to that protruding edge, just beat it down, that's all I had to do. Otherwise it was a bolt on and go. I do not run spacers. Yet.

i barely got my z06 rims for cheap lol with tires and a trade in of my stock abs wheels for $350 chrome 18s all around 10.5s on back and no spacer and 9.5s on front . it feels ok but at high speeds it shakes a little ima go check out what i can do lol. i would get longer wheel studs just for precautions ima probably do that. but since i dont have the spacer they are pretty much locked in tight. i drive it everyday and no problem the ride feels smooth only on high speeds up to 75 i feel a light vibration ima go order some studs but i still drive it since thety are pretty much locked in real well. you can drive it until you get the studs done.
