18" and 19" c6 fitment help

Will OEM c6 18 and 19s fit without mods? Im running a 4th gen rear and ls1 front brakes stock ride height. From what Ive found Ill need 2" spacers up front. Tires on them are 245/40/18 and 285/35/19. My car is freshly painted I cant do any fender mods at this point so If they wont fit ill pass on them..

Rear might need additional spacer if 79mm offset 10” wide wheels. Some inner well mods in the front portion of the rear wells needed too

You will need spacers for the rear too. I am not sure what thickness, I have C6 wheels as rollers right now and I think I have a 1.25" rear spacer.

Even with the 4th gen rear?

Orr yes they 10" wide. Would it just be a miner BFH to the front of the wells?

Re: 18" and 19" c6 fitment help

I have a hubcentric 5/8 slip on rear spacer on my 4th gen spec rear and the fit is perfect but does need well mods with 295’s. Idk about 285’s

yes just hammering in a corner

without the spacer may need alot more hammering and may need to cut the bumpstop

Thanks!! These wheels I found are a steal with damn near new tires on them. Tough to pass up on but wanted to make sure they would fit without much agg considering its painted already..

Re: 18" and 19" c6 fitment help

You'll want a 1" spacer in the rear, and a 2" up front. I've got C6 wheels with a 95 Z28 rear.
