Stock C6 wheels, Pappy? Maybe what you need are C6 Z06, ZR1 or C6 Grand Sport wheels, the real ones not repops. They sit out wider than standard C6 wheels like you have. Then you should be able to put some real meats on the back. 325's or 345's

they look narrower... but the C6 was narrower, too.

You might want to find a rim that has the right rear C5 offset for the Z06... that should fix the problem.

I am not a fan of spacers if I can avoid it.

I don't like adapters much although they are safe.

Spacers are not, IMO. In fact most tire shops will not touch em.

You can run adapters as thin as about 5/8"

IF:

you use wheels with large depressions cast between lug holes, such as most OEM castings.

AND: you have reasonably short studs, not the ones with the starter thread base that extends out another 1/4".

AND: you use very small, low profile open lug nuts to install the adapter.

Otherwise the wheel may contact the adapter nuts or studs and not be secure. The thicker the adapters are the easier it is to clear all of that. Also I would recommend hub-centric adapters that have the false hub sticking out in the middle.
