Default Wide body kit?'s

Aloha my new found friends, I know that I've been asking for a ton of advise, and I wish that I could contribute more, but I'm new to the Vette thing, and still learning. I do however have vast knowledge in the coatings industry, so if you guys have any questions on the best stuff for corrosion control, or coating for your garage floors, etc. please let me know.

Anywho, I have a set of Very high end GFG 3 pcs wheels for C6 Corvette

The fronts are 19x10 and the rear 20x13 !!!

Tires are 255/35r19 and the rear are 325/25r20 !!!!

I'd like to put them on my C6 Z51, but I'm not sure if I need just the rear widebody kit, or if I need the entire kit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Keith

You only need the widebooty. The front wheels will fit with the proper offset. 255s in the front are only one size wider than stock C6 tires. You can fit 295s or larger in the front of a C6 with stock fenders if the offset is correct.

I'm not sure why you think you need a 13 inch rear to fit 325s. I think they will be stretched. 325s will fit 11 inch rears, which fit under the stock C6 rear fenders with the correct offset. 345s will fit on a 12 inch rear but require tubbing or wide rear fenders.

Oh, sorry guys, the rears are 345's (typo), and thanks for the advise! I just ordered the wide"booty" kit from Gene.

Thanks Gene!
