Check the back of your C6 wheels for reliefs in between the holes for the studs. I know some have reliefs but mine had very minor valleys (maybe 1/8" deep) which still didn't give enough space even with a 1" adapter.
With the adapter bolted onto the hub, if I tried to install the wheel to the adapter the back of the wheel would hit the factory studs and wouldn't sit flush against the adapter. There was about 1/4" of stud with no threading that I had to cut off in order for the wheels to bolt down properly. Just a heads up.

I have a 1" spacer, but in hindsight I wished I'd gone with a 20mm (or 3/4"). This was right after lowering it on stock bolts, it settled a little more afterwards.
I also HIGHLY recommend tossing on some longer ARP wheel studs on the fronts with some 3/8" spacers. Easy to do and looks perfect in my opinion.
