You want to build your own fenders? Fiberglass work? You can buy them from here too. Carbon or Fiberglass I think.

Also you can run C6Z06 wheels with no issue, stick out only slightly.

ZF Six has GS wheels (same size as z06)

As already said you can purchase flared fenders instead of actually building them yourself. Here are some threads about flared fenders on C5's:

Do you know, whether this front fender (from shop) is wider than orginal fender from C5?
At first I must found wider front fender. Then I will be find rear fender.

I don't believe the front fender in your link is any wider than stock, but I may be wrong, it does have a modified cove vent style similar to the ZR1.
The Lewis Five Motorsports (L5) front is 3/4 of an inch wider than stock.

I saw before this fender Lewis Five Motorsports. I'm looking for something more interesting. I don't like this type of widening in fender. I'm looking for fender, which is completely expanded. This from LFM has roof above the tire.
I am afraid that I can't found completely expanded fender.
Tell me if rear fender can I buy in different widths? I saw few photos with this kind of fenders. I wondering is this my imagination or they realy exist.

In Poland we have huge trouble with buy this parts of vette.
I'm sorry for my English but I'm still learning

Don't apologize for your English you are doing fine. Check out the thread link below. The body kit on the pictured blue Corvette may be what you are looking for. I am assuming you want the fender extended the full curve of the fender,

Here is the link to the company who makes the kit.

Thank you for your help.
This is not what I need. I must build these by myself.
I found this:

This Corvette is beautiful, but only has a wide rear fenders. My wheels are others - I don't want change their. I need a wider front fenders. My wheels need a distance and wider fender. Wide rear fenders are not a problem. Which wheels are on the picture you added? Z06?
These are my wheels:

My wheels are TSW Nurburgring's 18x10.5 all around stock offset. My front fenders are stock as I haven't seen many wide front fenders that I care for, for the C5s. The L-5 front fenders though I think look pretty good when the whole car is done right. Check the link above

I have seen that thread before. It is a total custom build. If you have the skills then go ahead and do it. It will take a lot of work, but if that is what you want then do it. I am sure it will look great. I just like the thought that the fenders from the aftermarket vendors are one piece replacements.

PREDATOR27

I'm still waiting for parts from the USA. I'll see how it will be look when I bet Vette Z06 brakes. Then I decide what to do next. I will build a wider fenders or I'll buy the original wider. It depends on how much the wheels will extend beyond the fenders.

This is a picture of the rear of my coupe with the C6 Grand Sport wheels (19X12 and 325X30 tires) and the stock fender. This is also with a one inch hub centric adaptor also. It sticks out almost 2 inches.


This is a picture of the front with the Grand Sport 18X9.5 wheel and 275X35 tires and the stock fender. There is no spacer and tire sticks out about a little more than half of an inch.


I am also running the C6 Z06 brakes front and rear.



maybe this will give you an idea of what to expect.

PREDATOR27

DONE! Brakes from C6 Z06 in my Vette. Do you like it?

Looks great.

What front fenders are those? They look great!

PREDATOR27

All fenders are original.
I used only distances and long pins.
