Flared rear fenders with fat tires (post pics)
Hey Guys,
I'm purchasing a wide rear fender C5 Z06 been looking at a lot of threads on here with the rear fenders but I'm not looking for how nice the car will sit on 20 inch wheels. I want to see if any of you guys have pics of your cars or other cars on the forum with wide rear fenders and a nice wheel/tire setup for cars that make some big power #s.
Lets see them

Already did found some nice cars there, but either track set up or with some big wheels on thin sidewall tires.
Cars in that thread look amazing don't get me wrong. Just want to get ideas on what wheels I should go with for daily driving if the car pushes out around 900+ WHP

not daily, what I meant to say is when the car comes out on the weekends not going to the track just driving around. My buddy has a set of 18 inch Weld wheels on his 800RWHP Z and he has no traction with that unless its super hot out and he lays into it from a roll. I wanted to do maybe a 17 rear 18 front setup with a nice tire and hold down some of that power on the street.

Haha, I need to get my glass eye looked. Sorry!
Sorry? I think you need to read the thread correctly. When did I ask for 20s? And why would I run 20s on a car that makes close to 1000rwhp on the street? I asked for pictures of flared fenders with fat tires (traction based tire) not wide tires. Maybe this confused some people but I don't mind at all looking at the great cars being posted.
