so exactly what spacers will i need? to make this as painless as possible..the rear tires are 295/30/19 and the fronts 245/45/18... im guessing the fronts shuld fit with no probs? and if i get spacers am i going to need to change the studs to longer ones??

Those will NOT fit directly and may NOT even with a spacer, unless its wayyyy big. Especially the rears. The C-4 wheel well can only be filled so much and still have room for suspension travel or allow steering wheels to turn.
You'll have to get the correct spacers because the newer wheels will have less offset and that means a bigger spacer. TireRack has an online tool for calculating wheel offset. Thats a Got To know kind of thing.

I found a place searching online that makes and sells adaptors.. Do a websearch and shop.

even if they are big....You'll pay $65 to $125 each depending on quality. For spacer/adaptors, spend the money.
 
yea i decided to just keep my c5 z06s for now.. i just bought 33s and a leveling kit for my 05 chevy colorado, i wanna try and get the truck finished up before winter gets here in 2 months

I put the same wheels on my 96 and I had to use 1 1/2 in. spacers. all around to make it look right. The tires flush out with the body useing the 1 1/2 in spacer.

BTW..

Mr Hib Halverson has a suspension chart that tells you the yr, type suspension , wheel size, sway bars, and offset and all the other details. Take that info and use it at the tire rack interactive wheel tool and you can figure out exactly how much of a spacer you need for ANY wheel on your c-4.
