z06 wheels question

I'm currently in the market for new wheels on my 87 z28. I think I have decided to go with set of c5 z06 replica wheels. 17x9.5 with +54 offset. I'm assuming I would need spacers, I think it was 2 inch. But I'm also looking to put a different rear end in my car, if I went with a 4th gen rear would I still need to do spacers in the back? Thanks and if any you guys are running these wheels I would love to see some pictures.

Re: z06 wheels question

Do you have alot of room between the tire and the inner wheel well?
