Those are L5 fenders. I'd go the fender route myself IMO. GM went with flared fenders for the C6 Z06's larger wheels instead of tubbing the C6 so I'd follow their route. You can also swap the flared fenders back to the stockers fairly easy.

Thanks, I have the L5 flared rear quarters with C6Z 19x12 repros & 3/4" spacers behind the wheels...also ARP wheel studs

Here is a 335/18 Toyo R888 on a 18x12" CCW classics, I didnt like how far it stuck out.

I agree. Looks like they stick out a good inch

I used as little spacer as possible, and mine is more like GMC Hammer's picture.
I think it looks great with a little tire peeking out from under the well.

What tires are you guys using for wider rims in the back? (335 or bigger). I have slight traction issues @~ 400rwhp now on 295s. I doubt my plans of adding a t-trim will make this better.
