On our Nova project we used a 54mm [2-1/8"] wheel adapter with the C6 19x10 wheel. To eliminate the need for a wheel adapter in the rear, you'll just want to mock everything up so that you can set the overall WMS-WMS width of your axle. You could just calculate it using the offset/backspacing of the wheel [79mm/8.68" BS], but in my experience it's better to mock it up as no two cars seem to be alike. Also, don't assume that the axle is centered under the car.

Include the thickness of the actual rear rotor hats for mockup purposes as they're not all the same...assuming you're running discs.
