Default GS 11inch wheels....

well im finally ordering my wheels today... Im still worried about the wheel sticking out past the fender...I hear some people dont have any problem while some say it sticks out 1.4 inch...Im goin with the GS offset and hopefully it will fit with no problem. My car is very low so when i hit bumps i want it to tuck under the fender with out hitting it. Ive read somewhere where guys have shaved something down so it does fit perfectly (the wheels tucked under the fender) but i cant find that post anymore. At first i was going to go with the GS flares but then i was told the GS offset wont fill out the flare, then i was going to go with the ZR1 offset to fill it out but i dont know how that will look... I know ive posted this before but i just dont want to make a mistake when ordering :( so if anyone has pictures of flares with GS offset wheels or flares with Zr1 offset wheels it would help me out big time.. especially lowered vettes... thanks guys for all the Help :cheers:

I don't have pics uploaded anymore, but they don't stick out at all.

Now on a real GS without fenfer flares they will stick out, at least they do on RichS' car, we were looking at that at the track last Saturday, so I don't know if the aftermarket companies with their "GS" offset are right on the money, because mine from AFS barely stick out 1/2 inch.

Mine do not stick out either





The car has not been lowered yet but the lip of the stock fender without a flare would be right at the edge of the tire, hope those pics help
