Dang those 8"s really fill it in nicely!

Like Yeti and Flat mentioned, are the spring plates stock?

Thanks!

Hi Dirk

They look sensational.

Are you running 2 or 3 bolt front struts and is the ET/offset the same on the front wheels? Are there any other photos of your car?

I just did a calculation on this site http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp and comparing a Cookie/Fuchs 7 X .. with a 23 ET you would have 36 mm less inner clearance and 10mm more clerance to the fender.

Steve

Hello, I am running the 3 bolt suspension on the front but with the Remmele Front struts for more space on the innerside. The offset is in the front the same.
