If you have taken a set of factory C5Z rear wheels and widened them to 12", what size spacers / adapters are you running to avoid rubbing on the fender liners?

I run 18" x 12" House of Wheels Argent C5Z06 reproduction on the street. (CCW classic 18" x 12" on the track) and use DRM 5/8" spacers and longer studs to better fill the widened fenders. Without the spacers I had to remover the inner fender liner to prevent rubbing.

I believe if you widen stock rears to the inside you will have to minitub the car. The HoW repros had a wider lip.
