Default Need advice

I would like to go ahead and put the z06 rear fenders on my 07 z51.

Because of the flare i'm guessing my stock rear wheel/tire setup will not look right. I plan on getting new rims, but my question is do I have to do this all at once? or can i just purchase spacers for the meantime?

When I do get the fenders on, what size tire/wheel setup will look the best in there?

Thanks.

I suppose you could use spacers, I have read here that some have used in the past.

PM forum "Black05c6z51", he was rollin on OEM wheels & Z06 fenders with spacers and longer studs before, I recall him saying he purchased the hardware thru a forum vendor.

Good luck!
