Default Widened rear quarters Update

Just got my widened rear quarters from Dynamic Corvette today. Had them on and ready for glue in a hour. These things are very nice and installed just like a factory panel. Went on way easier then I expected and now I will probably have to do the widened front fenders too.

Tom,

They look good. I like your thoughts for the front.
How wide are the rears? 1.5 inches?
What size are your wheels?
Should look great when your finished.

The wheels I believe are 20x10. The Qaurters are supposed be 1.5 but they have to be wider because the wheels seemed to hang out a mile and now they are 1 inch inside. I didn't do any thing to make them stick out more. Just fastened them like factory. I am glad they are wider because I think I am going to get CCW Classic wheels in 18 x 11 for front and rear. This is another reason to widen the front. My rear wheels are 5.5 backspace rear and 4.5 front now. I think I am going with 4.75 all around so that extra space in the back will be perfect. The front is going to be close.

Nice job, I'm considering the same fenders any chance you have a picture looking down the side of the car?

Thanks
