Default Body mods...?'s

I really love big lip wheels... Lamborginis with um make me drool. BUt i cant afford one ....yet Anyway is there any body kits that make the rear body wider? i noticed the flares someone made, they looked cool but kinda wierd i want something like the new zo6 how it still goes with the natural lines but is like 3 inches wider so i can run some wide wheels in the rear.... the C5r kit looks like crap so idk bout that... any ideas guys?

I don't know where you are located, but before you make your final decision, I would go to Carlisle and check out some of the body kits up there.

I am in the process of getting the ACP Z11 kit with some customizations done, it might be ready by Carlisle.
