If you want the rear wheels to come flush to the rear fenders you will need a 1" wheel adapter. This is for base C6 wheels and NOT for the C6 Z06 or C6 Grandsport wheels.

Thank you for the quick response. If I utilize the 1 inch spacers, should I install longer wheel studs?

This is what a wheel adapter is:

For a C5 you need a 1" thick 5 stud on 4.75" to 5 stud on 4.75" adapter.
Thanks again for the guidance. Thank you for the link as well.
