C-6 wheels on a C-5 model
I got a great deal on a set of 2006 chrome 5 spoke wheels. I want to buy the same Michelin run-flats I have on my C-5. It seems there are different responses whether a spacer is needed on the 19'' rear. Is it the size or brand of tire which make a spacer necessary? I plan on buying the Michelin 245/40-R18 & 285/35R19 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ ZP tires. Has anyone done this without problems?

Fwiw I had a friend a few years back tell me threw c6 gumbys on his 97 c5 without spacers and had no issues. He said they were Oem wheels and had no issues.

As far as issues ? If you don't mind the rear wheels being pushed in way inside the wheel wells and not sitting flush with them then yes, there is no issues.
