Can anyone reccomend wheel spacers and the correct studs to go with them? Dont think I need Pfadt spacers, but a decent quality set for the back wheels. Would like to get the wheels close to flush.

Depends on the width of the wheel. I run vossen 087's which are 11" wide with 75mm offset, with a set of 5/8" drm spacers in the back it brings the offset to about 59mm which places the back wheels about flush. I also run longer studs and should for any spacer wider than 1/4".

I have standard C6 wheels from 2006. Not sure of their offset.

So I used the calculator and the wheels are 27mm retracted. About 1 inch. Those would be some long studs. Probably go with 1/2 spacers. Anyone recommend spacers and lugs?

As posted Doug Rippie Motorsports(forum sponsors and great guys to deal with) make a 5/8 spacer and sells the hardened studs. Have had them on my vert for about 5 years.

I couldn't find the vendor that I used. They made good quality hubcentric spacers. In any case, anything past a quarter inch I would use a hubcentric spacer. I'm running an C6 (18 x10) wheel in the back with a 12mm spacer. Because of the additional depth added to the wheel I had to install longer studs. That's kind of a PITA to intall the studs. Some guys opt to cut a hole in the back plate. I pulled the whole assy off and pressed the new ARP studs on. Breaking the mounting bolts for the caliper loose is tough. I had to use a two foot breaker bar, the impact wrench couldn't do it.

As a word of caution, do not use the stock lug bolts to pull a wheel onto the hub. I had my wheels powder coated and the additional thickness of the powder coating made the wheels a tight fit. I thought no big deal, I'll use the studs to pull the wheel on. On one side I landed up stripping out four lugs. It wasn't like I was turning real hard to get the wheel on either.

Hi!
I need some guidance. I am currently running stock rims on my C6. I am replacing rotors and pads (big rotors and brackets), i am having the calipers powder coated and finally i will be installing stock size and off set aftermarket rims. I don't do any track or racing (spirited racing once in a while) i am all about looks and performance even though i don't push my car to the limit. My question to y'all:

Can i put spacers to make and give the appearance of flush wheels to fenders? What sizes?-Someone had mentioned me 3/4 rear and 1/2 front- What brand should i consider or would you recommend? Any downside on putting spacers?

I truly thank you in advanced for your knowledge !

Can we be clear here, C6 non Z06 rims fit on a C5 base coupe? Looking to upgrade my 17-18 for C6 18-19
