He mentions having his rear fenders molded and sold later on - not sure what ever came of it though. Might be worth looking in to.

Thanks for the link, I've been following mikes car since day 1

Edit: you can't just "mold" the rear quarter panels on our cars... They require cutting & welding no matter how you look at it.

Yea its too bad they cant just bolt on like the fronts.

The double edge sword of modding -
Mod to be original - Only mass produced parts are affordable.

Post a pic of your car i gotta see that stance. I like stupid stance and hella flush but i know that it comes with a price tag.

You should be able to run 12" rears with -2.0 camber, but the offset would need to be around +10 to +15.

Also an idea would be to do a mini tub. I havnt seen it done to a Z yet but its alway an option. Keeps stock looks and you will be able to fit some wide tires under the car while keeping camber in check. Guys do it all the time with Vettes and what not. Just tossing out options. Not sure how well it would work for you.

There is a shop at keele and langstaff that I saw is doing a widebody 350. You could probably get a price from them for a custom kit.

It was at 8600 Keele. If you drive through the middle driveway of the 4 buildings it is the first garage on the left. not sure what number the shop is but you would probably see it because it was there last week.

There is also this:

I was running the same offsets and was fine. There really isn't a need for a wide body with those offsets. If you wanted to go more aggressive, that could be a solution.
