z06 rims, few final things

I'm just about ready to buy a set of 17"x9.5 z06 rims. After looking around I see that in order to run these rims 2" spacers are recommended all around. The rear end is stock. So basically I was just looking for some input from some people that have installed rims such as these.

thanks!

edit: also any links to spacers will be greatly appreciated! Having trouble finding any.

Have you tried eBay or posting in the wanted section here? I may have a pair of 2" spacers for sale soon.

Just heard about this place, but you'll have to decide if it's for you:

You would want what are called adapters not spacers though. There's a difference.
