Default Front wheel well spats





For those looking to run a wider rim, the c7z/GS spats will give you 1.5 inches of more fender in the front. Doesn’t take much to fab them up. I may use them on track days with a 10.5 front rim and a 12 rear rim.

I would not think that Painters Tape would work very well.

What wheels? They look sort of like the apex vs5rs, but not quite.

Any suspension work?
