For a 12 or 13 inch rim on a C5 you'll need Mini-Tubs or Flares !! Unless you want you wheel to stick out of your fender.. Structural integrety of Widening a Rim done by Weld Craft Wheels.. No Worries.. Quote I got for Widening my Stock Z06 Rims by 1 inch was $220 per Rim, Plus 40 Shiping Per Rims Per Trip = $160.. So $600 for 2 wheels. This was Widening to the Inside of the Rim..
Here is the Link
