I like the L5 better have them on my conv now with CCW 345 35 18 M/T D/R on them. A vendor on here has them on sale at the moment superman09. I like the way the L5 just set with the car.... Robert

Youre gonna need a 5/8" spacer for those rear wheels to sit properly.

Do some research
Have a real grudge with L5 - so take that into consideration. I consider them low life suppliers. Poor quality and honest communication is the exception to the rule. It took me almost a year to get my money back from L5 and they went down kicking and screaming.
TPE - excellent communication and far better quality. Some body shops don't want to do the required prep on the L5's. Plus if you look at the difference in appearance, in my opinion, one looks like an add on with no real lines (L5) and the other like it was OEM (TPE). With TPE you also have the option of going front and back flares.
In any case, do your homework and then enjoy.

Listen to this guy...these are the facts. C6Z spec'd wheels with 3/4 inch...exactly what I run. I run 345's on the back. My car got 10x the attention from random people when I went this route. From the back and rear 3/4 view, the L5's make the car look the way GM should've made the Z06 body. L5 fit was pretty good...a few tweaks necessary, but nothin big.

L5's and love them, but as stated my body man hated working with them. But that's what I paid them for so I wouldn't have to do it. They turned out great and get a lot of attention!!! L8R FLASH

Flared Fenders
Hey , Thanks for the info..
What about the TPE fenders?
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...nels-pics.html
Or should I just go with the L5?
Also can you point where I can buy the 3/4 spacers?
Thanks..
Next thing I want to do, CAM & Headers..
I installed Drilled Rotors and MagnaFlows..
