I also just recently installed the Corvette C5 Big Brake Upgrade package (from bigbrakeupgrade.com) for the front brakes. I actually have a '01 C5 as well and the plan is to be able to swap out the 17x8.5/18x9.5 stock C5 wheels and the 17x9.5/18x10.5 Z06 wheels (I just recently purchased) on both vehicles as I want. I have done much research and it seems I need 1.75" hubcentric spacers/adapters for the front wheels, but I am concerned about buying a pair on Ebay and having them not fit. Can anyone direct me somewhere that will have a guaranteed fit for this setup?
I found these on Ebay, but it states they are hubcentric to the hubs only and not to the wheels:
The ones you have listed will work but are not ideal. You want some that are hub and bore centric. I run 2" spacers on my C5 set up but you can see and feel the difference
Thanks for the info. Could you tell me where you purchased them? The main thing I'm worried about is the center bore of the spacers fitting over the hub correctly.
Right now I have the stock C5 wheels on the front and rear. 17x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. I set this up where I can swap wheels with my C5, which has the larger Z06 wheels on it.

Did you use the supplied lug nuts that came with the spacers?
