Hey, I know you asked me a while back but I just found my invoice from cultrag. The item numbers for the flares are 23272790 and 23272789. You need to make some slight modifications to the stock mudflat and cut one tab off the fender flare to make them fit a non z06 (or at least I did) haha. Overall very easy though!

Has anyone tried these on a C7 coupe? If how difficult was the install and can you provide pics of the completed job
I've seen them on a Stingray coupe in person...not a fan. The front fenders are the same between Z06/Stingray, but the Z06 wheels stick out 1.3 inch wider. The spats 'cover' them properly. The spats however on the Stingray I saw looked out of place because they just made the wheels and stance look too narrow.

Front wheels:
C7 Base and Z51 front wheel (respectively)
18x8.5 ET 56mm
P245/40ZR18 (93Y) SL Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport® ZP
19x8.5 ET 56mm
P245/35ZR19 (89Y) SL Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport® ZP
vs.
C7 Z06 front wheel
19x10 ET 43mm Listed weight of 25.7lbs.
285/30ZR19 (87Y) SL Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport® ZP
Result:
Suspension clearance: Z06 wheel is 7 mm (0.3'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.
Fenders clearance: Z06 front wheel will stick out 33 mm (1.3'') farther.
C7 Base and Z51 rear wheel (respectively)
19x10 ET 79mm
P285/35ZR19 (99Y) SL Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport® ZP
20x10 ET 79mm
P285/30ZR20 (95Y) SL Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport® ZP
vs.
C7 Z06 wheel
20x12 ET 59mm Listed weight of 31.8lbs.
335/25ZR20 (87Y) SL Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport® ZP
Result:
Suspension clearance: Z06 wheel is 5 mm (0.2'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.
Fenders clearance: Z06 wheel will stick out 45 mm (1.8'') farther.
I tried to install them on the Z51....not a huge succes till now...do they install on top of the inner wheel liner or behind the line, or should I take off the liner, install the flares, and then reinstall the liner on top ?
I ended up trimming the back side to keep my splash guards. You have to pull the liner down and push that edge up under it. I trimmed the forward tab off too to make it easier to get it up under there.
I'm in the process of painting them. After all this, I'm not even sure how much I like the way they look. Lol.
Using these, you can essentially go with a lower wheel offset that will stick out further and perhaps sit flush with the fender flares i.e Z06. Whats the lowest offset used on a C7 with aftermarket wheels? I know the range is between 50-56.
And will a 5x120 bolt pattern like that on a CTS-V fit on a C7 without issues?

That would work for the front, but the problem is the rear fenders. If you take 25-28mm out of the front and push the outside face of the wheel out, you need to do the same for the rear. Problem is if you push the rears out over an inch to match the front...wheel arches wouldn't last long. And if you didn't do the rears, besides messing up the handling you'd have yourself a Wide Track Pontiac Grand Prix.
