Default C5R Splitter - Wheel Clearance Question

Quick Question:
Can anybody share with me a photo of their C5R Splitter (QuickZ06)installed with the front wheel clearance depicted? What size set-up you have? Photo of the whells in a Full locked position would be sweet!

I would like to determine if 19x9.5 Rims with 275/35/19 Tires will be an issue on a non lowered Z06..... I could cut-off the tabs for the wheel well, however I would like to keep them intact if possible......

Thanks!

not the best shot but it is with my iPhone in the garage late at night. Tire size 275/30/19 lowered all the way down on stock bolts.

At full lock:





here is a shot of the point in which it is the closet to the splitter:

Lol just got your pm but it's already been answered. I had one issue a while back with a customer but I think he is running an 18x10 with a 285 and it rubbed. Other than that most guys have been ok.

I run a 265 or 275 front tire on a 19" rim (sorry, forgot size). I have the C5R front spoiler and I have no issues.
I even have snaps installed in the screw locations so I can run a front bra. It was a HUGE pain to find appropriate snaps, but the point is even with the snap heads I have no clearance issues.




The driveway, on the other hand, must be navigated with utmost caution.......
