Default Fender gap question

Hello all,

Will 1" spacers cure my fender gap for my rear?
I really want to cure my fender gap, but i don't know what or which size spacers to go with.

I take it by "fender gap", you mean side to side? Most people that run Vette wheels have to run spacers in the rear to get them to sit far enough out...1" would probably do the job in your case.

I'm really debating on 1" or 1.5"
is there any way to find out?

I guess you could hang a plumb bob down the center of the fender and measure from the center caps to the bob to see where the wheels would sit. Other than that, kinda hard to tell...
