C5 stock wheels to c6 upgrade
Looking to upgrade front and rear rims and tires to c6 OEM.
for the rear I heard everything to no shims needed to half inch.
what should I do?
if shims are needed can someone recommend a part number or product name.
thanks

I went with these adapters from Amazon:
If I planned on doing anything extreme like drag racing I might have spent more - but these seem fine and got decent reviews. You will need to cut down your wheel studs for the wheel to sit flush against the adapters.

That's interesting that some of you are also running a spacer in front, as all the 8.5" width front wheels for C5's, base C6's, and base C7's have the same +56 offset.
