These pics of the wide booty look great! Is anyone running a wide rear with deep concave rear wheels?

345/30-19 I am running 335/30-19 though because my tire didn't come in 345's

I have the Forgestar CF10 deep concaves on mine.

I started with a wide booty then progressed to the whole thing.

It depends on the offset of the rear wheels that you purchase...with stock ZO6 offset you can run 345's. If you choose a more aggressive offset 325/30 might be the best fit.
Stock ZO6 rear is 325/30/19.
I ordered my wheels with rear offset of 50 and front 43.
Hope this helps

The wide body kits are expensive! Boy I sure do want the wide body look though. Anyone every hear of anyone glassing in flared fenders on top of the stock panels? Not the kind that sit on top of the fender and you can tell that it is another piece. I am pretty handy with glass and I was thinking about doing this. Any thoughts?

I got a quote the other day for $3800. Does not include paint and rims/tires. I have seen guys spend $10k on the whole thing. I think if I can glass it myself I can do it for a few hundred (not including paint and rims and tires). I am just curious if anyone has done it before and if there are any issues that I have not considered.
