I received my H&R hub centric wheel spacers today in the mail! So excited to get these on my C5, it has the OEM C6 5 spoke wheels so the offset needed to be corrected. I'll post some pictures of the process tomorrow!
Looking forward to seeing the results.
I ordered a set of Spyders recently and noticed one of the back weren't +56 offset and instead in the C6 offset since my car looked like it missed leg day on 1 side. I finally got the new wheel in and sent the old wheel out and it never once struck me that the front 2 are the wrong offset also until I looked at how close they are to touching the caliper (literally can't fit my fingernail between the spoke and caliper), it's just less noticeable because they're both identical... So i'm just going to try spacers for the front since the rear are perfect now.
Finished installing the wheel spacers, didn't have to trim as much as I thought I was going to have to on the studs to the rotor, I'll get more pictures tomorrow after I get my new Michelin pilot super sports on was going to squeeze a 305 in the rear but it was to Damn expensive so I went with a 295..
Here's kinda a before picture, kinda dark but you can see the difference!

Which size did you get and how much did they cost you?
Flush wheels look soooo much better in my opinion! I can't drive mine until I get spacers on the front, it's embarrassing.
It looks 100 times better..I didnt need to put spacers on the front, but I am going from a 245 to a 255 in the front.

The size I went with was 20mm, just a hair bigger then 3/4 of an inch, heres a direct link http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/H...-p-106223.html to the company I bought them from, theres alot of different places, but that part number (4085704) on some websites show different style of spacer, i went with the "hub centric" kind, vice the standard spacer and having to replace the studs, if you have any questions give me a shout.

Haha , no problem man, are you planning on getting a set for your car? BTW that is the price for a set from vividracing, I dont think it says it in the description, so I had to call them and find out.

It doesn't say in the description... are you saying that's the price for two?
No, I'm not getting a set as my wheels are already right at the edge of my fenders (Forgestar F14s, 18x9.5+50F|19x11+55R)
I just wanted to know because once my car is together and all my new wheels are off, I will be selling the C6 Z06 repros that came on the car, which are 18F/19R in base C6 offsets. I want to be able to market them to C5 owners as well, so it's good to know what a prospective buyer would be spending to run them

Oh gotcha! Yeah the 20mm is a charm, and yes that was the price for 2
Why did you have to cut down the stock bolts? Also the link you provided shows fitments only for C4's.
He had to trim them due to the thickness of the spacer, so the ends of the lugs don't hit the wheel through the spacer... if you ran a slightly thicker spacer, you might be able to get away with not trimming the lugs, or if your wheels have recesses in the mounting face

correct and also yes it says 90-96 but it's the same exact fitment for a C5
Got the new Michelin pilot super sports on today, what an upgrade from the Invos. Went with the 295 in the rear, no rubs, and also a 255 up front with no spacers, no rubs as well. Big thanks to MickVette (if you see this) for all the help, saved me alot of time and money!
Here's some quick shots for anyone that is curious or is interest in what my set up looks like.
295/35/19 Rear with the 20mm spacer
255/40/18 Front with no spacer
Wheel spacers
was going to squeeze a 305 in the rear but it was to Damn expensive so I went with a 295..
