Re: C6 Wheel package, what adapters?
i ran a 1.7 inch spacer up front but i plan on a brake swap that will move teh wheel out another .25-.3 inch so in effect a 2 inch spacer would work great for the front
For the rear, i'd probly do the same 2 inch spacer. i have a 4th gen rear and when i mounted my 18x8.5/56mm offset wheels to the rear, they matched up pretty good.
So i'd go 2 inch all around and it should work out well

Re: C6 Wheel package, what adapters?
i have no experience with the ebay ones nor do i know anyone who has used them. I went with skulte and they turned out great!
skulte recommends a 2.25 " spacer but a 2" would tuck them in a touch more and should look good. the way my buddies C6 z06 wheels fit on my car and the way my wheels fit on my car, i would think a 2" would look good

yeah spacers arent cheap lol 1.7's are just what it says on the site, 150 for the front pair. my rears were custom slip ons that were 99 bucks a pair.

Re: C6 Wheel package, what adapters?
I have those wheels, only in black.
i called up skulte and they recomended a 2" spacer for the front, i have a 4th gen rear end so i didnt need spacers in the rear. at the time i didnt have my big brake upgrade and they said the would recoment a 1.7" with the big brakes due to the thickness of the rotor hat, but i have the 2" spacers and the wheels look right at home.
skulte isnt cheap, but they are def worth it, i needed mine in a pinch and i called them at 5pm on a friday and they were on my door step by 11am on saturday. def good people to deal with and they came with all of the hardware to mount them also.
