Probably so by the look of the face plate....its all about the offset........how far the mount is from the center of the wheel. Your stock wheels were fairly close to the center of the rim, so anything that was more toward the face would need spacers or the wheel would set inside the body too far and look strange.. Use the link to look up your wheels offset.

Well I just found out by used a website that calculates your wheels spacing and offset. I need 1" spacers in the front and 2" spacers in the rear. Just a little info in case someone else in doing the same thing. Thanks for your reply boomerdriver.
 
Final result

I used 1" spacers in the front, and 1 3/4" in the rear, LOOKS awesome, see for yourself.<img id="vbattach_4929" class="previewthumb" alt="" src="http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4929&stc=1" attachmentid="4929"><img id="vbattach_4930" class="previewthumb" alt="" src="http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4930&stc=1" attachmentid="4930"><img id="vbattach_4931" class="previewthumb" alt="" src="http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4931&stc=1" attachmentid="4931">
