i havent seen anyone on here running them yet, but i imagine the adapters are the same size, if the offsets and widths are the same(similar) to the c5 wheels.

Im running 17x8.5" 56mm offset(i think) y2k's with 2" spacers

this seller offers them in other sizes which may work better on our cars.

if you try to run the 19x10" rear your looking at an adapter of over 2" closer to 3. (my math could be wrong). The 18x8.5's will work with a 2" adapter, maybe you could get 4 of those.

but like i said he offers them in sizes that i know will work with the standard 2" adapter

i was looking at the same size wheels because i want to run the black c6 wheels with rivets. But i would need a 2.5 inch adapter in the rear. And can you get a 10 wide wheel under a camaro?

Matt is running the C6 rims with our SPD 2" wheel adapters. He's going to email the exact sizes/offsets of the C6 rims he's using, as I've seen several sets for both the C4/C5/4th gen offset, and then the even higher C6 OEM offset.

just make sure to chrome the adapters if you get the chrome wheels ..or paint them the same color as the rims if you get painted ones.

I need to powdercoat my adapters for my c5's
