Wheel adapters. Call Vette Brake Products for the correct size you need.

I installed C5 wheels about 4 yrs ago. The one thing I like to stress when performing this conversion is to make sure the adapters are both wheel and hub centric. What that means is that the adapters have the lip and recess like the oem wheels. Otherwise the adapters are placing stress on the wheel studs. The VB&P catalog pic does not show that their adapters fit just like oem wheels. I would ask them to be sure. Here is a pic of what I used.

Shot them an e-mail, we'll see what they have to say. Does anyone have some pictures of some C6 wheels on a C3?
