So I recently have started to do the wide fenders upgrade to my z06 and for anyone that wants to do this it is NOT cheap and even if you do it the "cheaper" route but still doing it nice with high quality parts it adds up quick. I see a ton of questions about cost so I figured I would share what I am paying for everything to give people an idea. I already had black c6z06 wheels in c5 sizes so I just purchased oem c6z rear wheels to cut cost a tad.
Rear fenders 1059 with splash guards (I bought L5)
Wheels 450
Powdercoat to match front 200
Tires nto5r 345's 760
Paint 600
So with nice fenders but going cheaper on the wheels I am in those deal so far for a little over 3k. I hope this helps anyone that is on the fence!

When the owner of that car posted it for sale he stated that the wheels were OEM C6Z wheels, powder coated gloss black. Hope this helps. Enjoy the ride!
^ I ran the same combo...OEM C6Z wheels in C6Z offsets with a 1" spacer in the rear (I ran some camber for flushness). A little less than an inch spacer would be good though.

I love my QS on black but this color and set up is so winning...
guys, keep in mind for the paint cost, if your car is any other color than black your cost for paint will be much higher. A quality shop when painting the quarters should be blending the roof, doors, trunk lid, and rear bumper. this could cost upwards of $1500 I know I have a Millennium yellow getting done now.

where did you buy the fender flares? and which did you choose

This was my fitment...
What spacers did you go with? Also, any idea how they would fair on track days (auto-x/roadcourse)? Would there be a higher risk of failure, or any changes in handling characteristics?
I wanted to do the rear fenders but not buy new wheels... I currently have forgestar f14s with 305/30 and they poke out a bit. I was thinking about getting the fenders, 1in spacers, and 325/30-19 r888
I was running a billet hubcentric, bolt on spacer that actually comes from factory five. I ran a company for several years that built turnkey track day cars...slc's, gtm's, etc. I have run those spacers on a lot of cars, on the track, and never had an issue. That said, I'd prefer to have no spacers and proper offsets of course.
Biggest thing I'd suggest with bolt ons is use a paint marker on the bolts that attach them to the hub, torque them on good and be sure they stay that way. I've definitely used them on road course and high speed stuff...no issues I've seen.
