Default Do I need wheel spacers?

I recently picked up a set of C6 rims with tires. I can't seem to find a clear answer to whether I need wheel spacers because I can't find any chart that has 19" rims on. The rears are 295/30/19. I was told I would need 1.25" spacers which are ginormous. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

yes you do need spacers and longer studs like dorman which you can find at any auto parts store. I have a coworker with this set up.

lol I would bolt them on but I am in Iraq and just want to have everything ready for when I come home. Thanks though I think I'll just have to wait to get the **** when I'm home.

i just bought a set of c6's as well, it will require at least a 1.25" spacing, i suggest ADAPTERS instead of spacers. here is the link for the ones i bought.

For OEM C6 wheels, you only need spacers for the rear wheels. You need 1.25" spacers. The fronts do not need spacers.
