grmnlk did you use dropped disc spindles? that looks nice

cause this will add to how much he spaced out the rim. Spacers aren't everything, the offset of the spindle, brake kit, spacers all play into where your wheel sits.

lanner's article is great. it provides good guidelines, just know that every case is different. best bet would be to find the rims you want look at the listed ET's, know about what the brakes and the spindles will push you out, then put them on the car, see how far you need to narrow, may be a little bit more so if you have to space them out with spacers. this is easier than having to narrow more.

good luck
