C-6 Wheels i love the c-6 wheels. i'm still doin my research but i plan on buying a set pretty soon. my question is:
should i use the 17x8.5 or 9.5 in the front?
and in the back i prefer to use the 18x10.5's.....do i need spacers?
or should i just use the 9.5's in the back?
any and all info will be greatly appreciated!

Ya know, I tried getting info on the back 18x10.5's and nobody could tell me if I needed spacers. So, I'm interested in this one too. I did already get my C6 wheels ordered and I'll have them Wed so if I don't get info by then, I'll have to find out myself the hard way. So, either way, by Wed. we'll both at least have an answer 
I ran 18x10.5 Z06 wheels on 3 F body's and they have never been a problem.
The only issue I had was running a 335/30/18 in the back. It was to wide and I had to pull the hammer out to mini tub that bitch.
The 18x10.5 rub just a hair in the front when doing a U turn, but I did have a 285/35/18 up front. I have since switched to a 18x9.5 with a 275/35/18 and have no problems.
I would say do the 18x9.5's in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear.
As far as tire choice goes, maybe a 275/35/18 up front and a 305/30/18 in back.
It will look real mean and very nice.
Edit, I changed some sizes as I wrote the wrong size earlier.

I just called my friend, he has the 9.5 with 285s and he had to space it, but he said you can get different offset now. He got his when they made only corvette specs. Hope that helped, the guy I talked to his id is Jammon46.
I called my mommy and had her look at the specs. 
There are two 18" x 9.5" (+56mm offset with 7.45" backspacing) rims for the front and two 18" x 10.5" (+56mm offset/7.94" backspacing) for the rear. The lug pattern is 5x120.65mm
To my mom.
Hope this helps.
