Cannot help with pics as mine is a 91. If you own an 88, 89 or 90 then you will not need spacers. If you buy a complete set off a C5 then you will need to purchase 18" tires for the rear as they came with 17" front and 18" rear.
I originally had a set off an anniversary '03 and they fit my 91 fine. I needed new tires anyway so purchased a staggered set in stock '03 sizes off an Ebay vendor.

I used 1" adapters (not spacers) on my 86.
