On my white 98, stock tire and wheel sizes. No spacers needed, plenty of clearance. Tires are Nitto 555s.....

My rims are 18 and 19 right from a 2006 C6. If I cornered hard, the rears would rub a little. I put 7/32 spacers in the rear (Ok with stock studs), and all is good. The last 2 pics are with the spacers in the rear.
