Default Fender work for 17x11 zr1's

I have 4 17x11 zr1's with the 36mm offset on my camaro. I bought them for use in autox and canyon carving, however the fronts stick out about 1.5 inches and the rear stick out just about a 0.5 inch, the rear is barely noticeable but they clear everything with no bfh mod and no spacers, except the front will rub about about 1.5 rotations of the steering wheel. I don't really like the way they look now on the car. How much would it cost to get some body work done so that the wheels don't stick out anymore? Like fender flares or something like that.

It would be 100x easier and more cost effective to sell those wheels and get some with the appropriate offset.

To answer your question, custom work like that will cost quite a bit of money. Its very time consuming work.

hmm yeah, I thinking that too. The only issue is that these are really light custom built wheels, they weigh close to 20 lb's each maybe 18 or 19. I got them on craigslist, he had them custom made from a friend who works at discount tire or american tire or something, I'm don't remember. Will the OE wheels replica's need spacers? I don't really want to add longer arp bolts or w/e they are called. I don't know too much about the process but it sounds like a pita. How much heavier are the oe wheels than the oem zr1's?

btw @crazyelf ^^ your paint job is not ugly.. lol.
