    Spacers needed?

    Buying a set of c6 wheels. 19x10 inch rear and 18x8.5 inch front
    Will I need spacers for the rear? If so where do i get them locally so i dont have to wait for shipping as i need them asap. Also would I need longer studs too? What are the spacers for even... Is it really necessary to have them or can I ride without them?
    Thanks

          Depends on the back spacing - are they OEWheels? or OEM? Only way to know if you don't know the brand, is to mount them up and see if they rub. You're going to want to lower your car, cause those things are going to look crazy on stock ride height!

            more than likely will not need a spacer. but you may have to take a big 'ol sludge hammer and pound in your inner wheel well at a few spots kinda above/by where the rear LCA's mount to the car.

              It all depends on the back spacing of the rims your buying. I think on 4th gen rims it 58 MM.
              Spacers are used to position the wheel if the back spacing is incorrect on the rim being used.
              If you are buying new rims just make sure they list them for 4th gen camaro, or firebird.

                I'm not entirely sure if they are OEM wheels or not since I'm buying them used off a friend butbibwill ask him. They are on his vette
                right now so I was just wondering what it would take to get them on my car without any issues
