I am considering the widebody rear also, thanks for all of the pictures it is helping me make up my mind. I am looking at putting on a Maggie and will need the 345 meats on the back.

What offsets are you guys using, I think front should be +56 (stock C6) and rear + 59 (stock Z06).

TIA

It's sunny today, not totally freezing, and very shortly I'm taking the supercharged black beast with the wide booty out for a run.

I bought all of my widebody parts from Gene Culley, then I bought the wheels and tires from Discount Tire, and I bought the brakes, shocks sways and springs from various people on the forum, but these pics were taken before I added all that, so I guess I need to take more pics. Oh, and the turbochargers are from APS.

You can see more pictures on my web site under the wide body link.
