LOL, man there is a post just like yours already in this section. But ill will still be nice and tell you NO!!!!! Nobody makes them and if you want them you have to ask a custom body shop to make you one. And just letting you know its very expensive and time consuming.

I was quoted by a body shop $250 per side to flare my fenders. He said he would cut the fender, weld in a piece of metal, shape it, and repaint it. This is to accomodate my 17x11 315's in the rear which get knicked up on the fenderlip.

I don't think he ment the front... I flared my fenders... looks bad as ****... Meanest Z on the planet. All it took was time and patience and a good template. Cost me no more than 100 bucks in material and about 1month total. I started out with some card board... made a cool template... Cut it out of aluminum... shaped it... Riveted it on there... about 40 rivets each... applied the fiber glass... and molded it in to perfection. It's a hit or miss with a shop... because they can do it any way.. .since there is no one design... but I found out there are really two options. Option 1 was just flaring out the Tire well and making that looked flared... but it just didn't look right... so I ended up reshapping the entire rear Quarter panel.. so the entire side is flared out. Which is more of the GMMG ZL1 style design. Which I think method workes best, becasue the entire quarter is flared and not just around the well like on most cars.
