Looks great. I can't believe the rears don't stick out badly at all. And with a 325 tire in the back. I'm gonna look into getting the same wheels and tires also.

He clipped the top of the picture that would have shown the fender and location of the tire. It would be nice to see another shot of the rear showing the top of the fender.

Default Car looks great...

I did the same thing but w/o the spacers and running 325's on 19X12's. Haven't babied the car but don't run it especially hard either and cannot detect any rubbing on the inside.

Having TPMS's installed tomorrow as the wheels came w/o them.

This is what my 'Vert looks like...rears extend ~1 1/4" out of the fender and not sure if I like the look. Priced it at nearly $7,000 to acquire, install, and body work the new flared fenders...I may just keep it this way as I really like the fat rears!

Any opinions?

I have OEM GrandSports on my 98' with a 01-04 Z06 Alignment. No spacers, Hankook V12 325/30r19 in the rear and I have no scrubbing what so ever.

Lowered all the way on stock bolts w/ Z06 leaf springs/C6 Z06 Anti-roll bars/C6 Z06 Shocks.

I've even tracked my car at VIR and the drag strip with no issues. Must be a Z06 thing to need spacers?

I would have trimmed the brake duct instead of removing it to keep the brake cooling as efficient as possible.
