Default Which Wheel Spacers?

I have an 87 Corvette and want to put C6 wheels on it. What size spacers should I use?

Thanks
Dan

Maybe we got a nomenclature problem here but I don't think you mean spacers. Spacers are just that, set the rim out farther away from the rotor using the OEM studs or maybe longer studs. Adapters do the same job but bolt to the rotor, Rims are bolted to the adapter. Search should turn up a ton of info on this. BTW, I think most folks shy away from spacers, too much load on the studs.
