With these fenders what is the widest tire you can put on the rear of a C5?

Also would I need to get extended wheel wells to cover the gap? Or what do people do here?

How long should something like this take to install?

Thanks

Doug

I have 345's , 13" rims on the rears. Install is pretty easy, painting is the biggest job.

Can't remember if we needed any interior spacers for the qtr panels. I suspect those may come with the kit, L5 should be able to answer that.

Doug,

You can fit a 345 tire with no problem. The flared quarters come with an extension for the inner wheel well that rivets on to the existing wheel well. The install is pretty easy, but you will need your body guy to spend a few hours to make sure they line up nice and neat before you paint and do the final install. We actually have these on special at the moment. Here is a link:

Sorry nothing good. When the weather improves here, I need to give that a try.
