Greg,

this looks perfect IMO. Any further and it would stick out too much for my taste. So 45 would potentialy be too aggressive.

Thanks.

IMHO the most usefull pics are those sighting down the side of the car (if offset is really what you are wkg on).
If you are wkg on ride height or rake ideally you need broadside shots....out away from the car.

I am still experimenting with suspension settings on the 4s below but she's down a bit. When I get it sorted out I'll order wheels.
Here you see 50mm on the fronts. (57mm 8J CSIIs with 7mm spacers).
And yes....the rule for going from 8J to 9J is add 12.7mm (out) for that inch.
If you do not add that 12.7 to your offset (when going from 8 to 9) the fitment will appear 12.7mm out further (relative to the fender).

Thanks for the pics.
Pretty aggressive those wheels. What tire size are you running up front?

Thanks

Here's a pic with a slightly different setup. Wild to see the sun hitting so much of the circumference of the tire.

Nice car Tro.
Here's similer spacer (14mm) on widebody C4s.
Effective offset of 37 (51-14 on 11Js).....not suggesting this....only sharing.
BTW....note the dif in spoke config of front vs rear CSIIs.....fronts rap out to accomodate front S calipers.

Hey GreggT,
I have that same exact car. I love it. What mods are you working on. I would love to know as I am in the same exact boat.

Apologies for hijacking the thread.
But 119.....she might not be 'same exact'......this is a C4S Cab (currently with hardtop on ).

She'll get new wheels and rear wing before spring.....BTW, this is really the wife's car, I'm just 'helping out'

So far.....redid suspension (PCNA did not make the 20mm suspension avail. on C4S cabs in N.America), otherwise all other is cosmetic to this point, silver crest, clear sides, got rid of quad tips, painted some body parts (red reflector, black ABS ground effect pieces, rear plate frame), clear bra, all other misc minor stuff.
