When I went with wider rims and tires 265/305 on my base, I used GM's splash guards. They by far, looked the best compared to the any aftermarket. The fronts went on easy, the backs were a bit of a PITA to push the pins into the drilled holes. I too, used the rubber mallet technique for final persuasion.

Just to be clear, I do know what they look like and have seen them in person.

Thanks for editing the photo.

Contact forum vendor "Cultrag Performance" here. Great people to deal with.

However, if memory serves, the GM guards we're talking about will NOT fit wide bodies. Does GM make guards that will? I don't know, but Cultrag should know.

There are good quality aftermarkets that will fit wide bodies, maybe somebody will post pix and info of them here.

not to change the subject but that is one beautiful, white C6

For Wide Body C6 Grand Sport or Z06 owners...I'm wanting to know what FRONT Splash/Rock Guards
are available besides the APSIS and the RPI pieces....

I'm also interested in protecting Front side of Rear Wheel Opening

Those are your only choices

Paint protection film such as Xpel and/or install side skirts. Many aftermarket versions exist ranging in price (roughly) from $500-$1000 or if you can find GM ZR1 skirts they’re roughly $2000.
