I believe the black Z is running the spacers since he was running the stock 19x12 OEM C6 Z06 wheels. I believe the OP with the Red car had custom wheels 20x14 made so he may not have to be running the spacers in the rear.

with your disagree, you don't win the Riddler award mulitple times for being lousy at designing cars.
Plus, these awards are not given to someone who has no talent.

In November 1997, Foose became the youngest person to be inducted into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame. Additionally, Foose was inducted into the Darryl Starbird Rod & Custom Car Museum Hall of Fame in 2002, the Grand National Roadster Show Hall of Fame in 2003, and the San Francisco Rod and Custom Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2005. Foose has also won the following awards for his work:

* Most Beautiful Roadster Award in 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2006. Some of these cars were designed by Foose and completed by other builders such as Boyd Coddington, Barry White, and Bobby Alloway.
* Detroit Autorama Ridler Award in 2002, 2003 and 2005.
* The Goodguys Street Rod of the Year Award in the years 1990, 1991, 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2001.
* Diecast Hall of Fame Inductee 2009.
* Best Hot Rod at Bilsport Performance Show 2010.

Looks too wide from the rear.
Still, wouldn't mind a test drive.

Looks a little overblown to me.

My only real criticism of the product is in closeups, the back end of the rear fender flare doesn't flow/integrate back into the bumper very well.

Looks like it was professionally installed, and if you like it, it's
