Default Wide Fender Question

Anyone running C6 Z or grand sport wheels on their C5 with wide fenders ?
What size tire and spacer you go with ?
I plan on using the ones I have until I decide on new wheels. Looked at several wide fender posts and looks like a 3/4” to 1” spacer is where it’s at depending on what fender. I went with the 2” Corvette Creationz TPE fenders.
Thanks

To me, my 12" +59mm wheels and my 2" quarters...5/8 spacers look the best.
