2" wheel adapters all the way around. I have the C6 ZO6 wheels and that's what I run.

18 x 8.5. They are Replica wheels. I found it funny that the same company makes the regular C6 wheels and you can those wheels in 8.5, 9.5 and 10.5 widths. The ZO6 only came in 8.5 and 10.5, go figure. I wanted to get the 9.5 width with a 285 width tire, but I am glad I didn't or couldn't now cause with the 1.75" drop I would have some rub issues.

Re: what wheel spacers do I need?

I bought these wheels and tires from Town Fair Tire. The wheels are made by a company called Replica and the tires are Toyo T1R's. The tires are good but not tremendous. They do really well on warm roads and have really good wet traction. When cool out or overheated at the track they can get a little slick.

I am not sure what the exact offset is, but it is the same as a 4th gen.
