Install fenders, install rims/tires, measure how much you want to run the tires...buy the spacers to match.

And if you have anymore questions I would pm jdmvette(Jason).. He's a very nice and helpful forum member and his setup sits perfect

Good luck with your ride and post pics when you're done

Also,,, His flares are L5 2 inch.. You can order from 2 inch wide up to 4 inch wide in the rear in increments of a 1/4 inch from L5. Helpful if you have custom wheels made slap em on then measure since most companies other than HRE, Fiske seem to be off just a bit with offset.

I have the TPE 2" flares on a FRC. I have 21mm/approx. 7/8" spacers to run my c6 Z06 spec wheels. I had to add longer wheels studs. I used ARP studs.

I am running QuikZ06 flares and a 3/4" adapter on C6Z wheels with 325/30/19 tire set-up. I should have gone 7/8" on the adapter, but the 3/4" will do for a year or so.

I purchased mine from JEGS, 3-1/4" long.


I bought them longer than needed and then cut them to length.
The yellow mark is where I cut the studs.

Just realized I didn't answer the second part of your question, spacers.
I purchased the spacers from Motorsport-tech. Be sure to get hub and wheel centric spacers.

I normally can't stand the look of black wheels, but I have to say your car looks really really good.

Yes put some flares on there! Mine are 2" wide L5's modded with C6Z rear brake scoops. 20x12" Sport Muscle GS wheels with Toyo T1R 345 25 20's. Wheels have C6 Z06 backspacing. I used a 3/4" or 20mm spacer adapter. Didn't need to change studs. Here is a link to the adapters. They are hub and wheel centric.
Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...841188&alt=web



My friends 01 vert with TPE T2 flares. These look so sweet on the verts. You can get these through Dennis at Double D mods now. They are not labeled as TPE flares anymore. Wheels are CCW 505's 20x13 with 345 25 20 nittos. No adapters required.
