Awesome build! Everything is tastefully done.
Question... Did you run your wheel set up with a stock suspension, and if so, do you think it could be run on at most a 2" drop? Sorry for the question, but I am still trying to wrap my head around the whole backspacing tire size thing. I think I about have it now. lol |

That being said, out of curiosity, what offset did you decide to get your wheels in? +33 front, +43 rear?

I may sell my wheel set up since I plan on doing a wide body.

I know... I got issues. I want wide body and V8! Too much down time on the v8 so I'm gonna do the wide body first most likely.

No worries. I was just wondering what kind, if any, fitment issues you had. I am probably sticking with a square set up, either in 17x9 or 18x8.5, but was tossing around the idea of 19's. Thanks for your reply.

17's & 18's would be good if you want better speed/ handling. I like the 19's because (to me) it makes the car look more expensive/ modern. Like the new Porsche 911's comes with 20's.

Nice build!
How bad was the labour for that carbon fiber roof of yours?
