Check those lines, the rubber section is "U" shaped and just in front of the block on the passenger side.

Try dropping your gas tank - you''ll discover severely rusted fuel lines that you didn't even know about. Water must get up into there and not dry out. The lines can even look pretty good under the car. But up in front of the tank, where you can't see from underneath, it's a different story.

Do the Z06 rims stick out @ all, do they rub, did you have to do any mods to make them fit

Well people, keep an eye on your fuel lines that run from the fuel rail to the first joint under the floor. The rubber sections drys out with age and will fail. When it does, there is 40 psi or more fuel pressure to spray it all over the exhaust, with these types of results. And guess what, GM no longer makes replacements. I have stated this a number of times, this is the biggest problem facing C4 owners, and most are not even aware of the pending problem.
