Hmmmmm....???
I've been running 335's on 12 x 18's since 04 with no problems and car is lowered???? 03 Z06...my wheels are from house of wheels and inner fenders and brake ducts are all still intact???
Must be a diffrent offset or something...I have no clearance or rubbing issues 40k miles

my junk did the same thing today. First time I had drove it lowered. On stock rear bolts with just cut bushings, it doesnt look slammed, but guess with my offset and 20x11 made mine rub or hit enough to bust a hole in the sidewall of my Nitto Invo.

I recently had the same problem with running 18x12 CCWs in the rear of my C5 Z06. The bottom metal tang from the leaf was rubbing the inside of the barrel. I had to raise the rear end about 1/4" (to about 1/2" lower from stock) and now it doesn't rub. Already have a 7mm spacer.
I think a 10mm spacer would clear it, but where do you buy 10mm or 1/2" thick spacers? No one I can find sells them.
