I too have a C3 with flared fenders. Did you figure out a good wheel and tire combo?
If so can you let us in on it?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Luke,
After you and I talked, I ended up buying some custom Torque Thrust II's from Am. Racing. 9.5 x 17 x 3.75 BS front and 11 x 17 x 4.5 BS rear. Hoosier A6's 295-35-17 front and 315-35-17 rear. With my ZL-1 flares, I could put a 335 on the rear, but 295 is the biggest for the front. No rubbing and it all fits real nice.

Any chance of photos? Sounds like the wheels and tires fill up the wheel wells.
Thanks,
Jim

The chip is out being reprogrammed so it will be sometime next week before pictures.
