Fender Flares
If I go to rear fender flares will the C6 Z06 wheels fit under the flares? I can purchase a set of C6Z wheels and tires reasonable. I believe the tires are 325...not sure but they are plenty WIDE. Also I think they are 18" 19" front and rears.
Thanks,

I have mounted a set of C6 Grand Sport wheels (18x9.5 front and 19x12 rear) that have the same widths and offsets as the C6 Z06 wheels. Used a 1” hub centric wheel adapter in the rear. Thought I would have to trim 3/8” off the factory studs, but the Grand Sport wheels have enough of a pocket that it was not required. Have not installed the rear flared quarter panels from Corvette Creationz yet but the 325x30x19 rears should come out to flush with the flared fender in the rear when the flares are installed. The rears will also have the C6 Z06 mud flaps installed as well. The fronts were mounted without any spacers/adapters and while I am installing front flared fenders from L5, they stick out about ½” not very much at all but will look better with the front flares installed which have about 3/4" flare. Picture shows wheels and tires mounted with stock fenders front and rear.
