No spacers in the rear, but thinking about getting them. Anyone have reccomandations on how big, and where to get them. Also I assume that I need to get longer studs? How hard are they too swap out?

I don't care if it was asked a billion times if you don't want to help keep it to yourself. This forum search tools are not always easy

Earlier I called Autozone and they said they had some 1/4" spacers in stock for $18 for a pair.
I think I'm going to try that and see how it goes.
From what I have read, if you do not go bigger than 1/4", you DO NOT have to change the studs.

I just installed some factory C6 wheels today on mine. I think I'm going to like them better WITH a spacer.

It looks like you need more than 1/4 inch. You can get adapters that would not require longer studs. I ended up using 5/8 spaces on mine with arp wheel studs (diff wheels though). Not a fun job to do but worth it.
