Wheel Offsets Question Prior To Spacer Purchase

Hi all

I posted about spacers recently and it was suggested a 15mm in the front and 20mm will work well in the rear of my 2005 CGT with the 20" Mulliner wheel option. Anyway, looking online the offset of this rim is the same as that of the new style 2013 cars including the V8S wheels but the gallery pictures i have seen clearly show the wheels filling the arches far nicer (for my personal taste) than mine do, is there a difference that makes the newer cars fill their arches better?

Thanks

Carl

Need to get some ordered up next week! thanks for reminding me.

Is there a need to space out the front? to me it looks like the rear only?

I have also had my car lowered slightly so with the wheels spaced out will look very mean!

How much did you lower it and did you use lowering links or electronic module? Pics?

Im thinking 20mm rear for now but also wondered about a slight lower once i get my steering wheel wobble sorted out.

Hi,

Lowering links, about 30mm. Sits nicely now. Will get some pics sorted soon, just having a few more bits done to it.

Will order spacers later today, probably 20mm as well.

How did you sort your steering wheel wobble?
Have you sorted all the arms/bushes?
