Default New wheel spacers??????

So ever since ive had my Z06 wheels on, Ive had rubbing issues on the inner fender in the rear. It wasnt bad, just kinda took the coating off to bare metal on the inner fender. So I decided to buy some wheel spacers, I bought 1 inch spacers thinkin the tires wouldnt stick out TOO much. Well I put them on, and idk how I feel about them, I actually kinda dont like the way they look, I think the tires stick out WAY too much, and I dont feel like beating the piss out of my inner fenders. So im thinkin 1/2 inch spacers would be better. What do you guys think of them?

Thanks, but I think the tires stick out just a bit too much, 1/2 will take care of my rubbing, and I think it would look better.

hey man your ride and your choice... But in terms of the rubbing thats what I would first take into consideration... I mean looks are a lot but living in New England and rubbing away that clear coat and scuffing will constantly allow that salt and whatever else nasty shit our roads have on the to beat the open unprotected surface of that fender... leading to that thing we're all so fond of up here, rust and rot ha.

The tires stick out just a hair past the fender.

My84z- I know thats what alot of people do, but Im not all for that, I dont really want to alter the bodily structure of the car.
