Wheel adapters were assumed, and while they would move the wheel out away from the sub-frame, what are you planning to do about the fenders? Moving the tires/wheels away from the frame inherently means moving towards the fender lip...so unless it's lifted and you like the tires hanging outside the body look, I'd still recommend either a narrower front wheel/tire combo or a full-on aftermarket front sub frame designed for wheels like you're talking. You could always go the Sawzall route like the roundy-round guys do to their front fenders.

Default New wheels

I just purchased a set of 2007 C6 wheels 18x8.5" and 19x10. Hopefully they are ok without too much hassle. Although did forget to ask about backspacing so it might be a obstacle but hopefully they slide right in.

Default As stated above

You are going to need close to a 2 inch spacer on the front and pretty close to that on the rear...assuming you are running stock front sub and stock rear width rear.

If the rear tubs are stock you are going to be very close on clearance and a 275 tire is going to be the max unless you widen it some.

Congrats on the purchase and post up pics when you get them on
