Since the 1LE and the ZL1 are both using 285/30R20's, I would think that the front fenders would be the same. The standard SS runs 245's up front.... I don't see why they'd need wider fenders on the ZL1 only, to cover the same size wheels/tires as a 1LE. I also don't see the wider fenders affecting how the rocker aero would fit. As said, it's most likely only wider around the wheel arch, like a BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc would be.

Could have only been a minute difference between SS fenders and ZL1. Maybe they only felt it was necessary for the slight aero advantage on the ZL1 and the 1LE can still live with the standard fenders.

I hope we're right about the rocker fitment. I would love the ZL1 rockers on my 1LE when the parts become available.

What I would really like to do with my 1LE when I get it is replace the entire front fascia and fenders with the ZL1 parts, but I know that will be crazy expensive!

And yes the ZL1 front fenders will be slightly wider that on the 1LE, they said you will barely be able to see the tires poking out on the 1LE where the ZL1 you will not. Visually that won't bother me but I would like the Aero benefits of the ZL1 bits, plus it does look badass!
