Which Corvette hubs are you using? You will almost certainly need custom axles for this application.

Corvette c5. Okey,obviously is are easier the stay on the porsche g50 idea if it need a custom axel. And alot easier if i need to change anything.

Even with the G50 you might need custom axles. It will depend on the length needed. I understand that the C5 CV joints have the same splines as the G50 Porsche CV joints so it may be possible to use the Porsche axles and install the Corvette CV joint on them.
