I just love this car's stance/wheel/arch relationship...

This on a board for enthusiasts. This has to be the most boring board ever.

That, my good man, is a 1949 Delahaye 175 S Roadster by Saoutchik.

I thought maybe you had gone down to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance to bid on it ...... ;)

Im more concerned about wheels dont "poke".
Wheel spacers can sooth my ocd about it but i guess i will do more harm then benefit. Also considering aftermarket wheels for that purpose.

Too much wheel gap, like on my old Mustang, and squirrels will hide there during/after hurricanes. I took this after Hurricane Frances, in 2004.

No, sir, they most certainly do not.

Wow.

Correct choice of gauges. Where did we go wrong, humfrz? SMH

Tuckin' nuts, and then some!!

Stock height for me and I still scrape on some dips.

It's not just the wheel gap, the way the wheels are sucked in makes it kind of underwhelming. I've lowered my car a little over an inch and put +35 offset 17x9 wheels and when I look at it, it looks more "complete". Before I replaced the stock wheels, it looked like the wheels were an afterthought - so skinny and sunken into the body.

Spacers would do the trick too, but you gotta get the concave - which the stocks don't have.

The purpose of lowering a car is to get a lower center of gravity. The looks are just a +

Well, we made due with what we had ...... ;)

IMO the stock wheel gap is a bit much for this type of car. If it were some generic sedan, I could see it. I'm dropped about 1" right now on RCE T2's and think it's perfect. Keeps the suspension geometry close to ideal and doesn't look like a 4x4.
