New Wheels on my Shark
Well, I finally got my tires for my Turbo II Hollow Spokes. Man the rears really fill up the fenders and look awesome 
I normally try to get something different, but seems like everyone that has got these loves them as well.
The specs are 8x18 w/ 225/40ZR (50MM) on the front and 11x18 w/295/30ZR (45MM) on the rears.

No pilot, but I can put them in the air

Any idea who makes that front wheel with a 55-60mm offset? With my car being so low, that'd rub in a heartbeat. 
Looks like camber will help in the rear as you lower: I run about 1% normal

Mark,
Definately had to remove the spacers. As for the lugs, these wheels have a deep enough inset that you can't see them

When I had the Cup II's, they were 55mm on all 4's. I actually had a hard time to let them go because they suit the car very well

did you just use open lug nuts on the rear so that about an inch of stud is visible if you're looking for it?. thanks on the offset info. 86.5 cars still have 65mm front offsets on factory wheels right??

Yup, I still want to install the actual lug nuts so I can put the locks back on. Not sure about the factory wheel offsets?

What sizes were your old cups with the 55mm offset? I am trying to get the feel for a set of wheels with a 54mm offset. If i dont get them, i will go the same route as you, turbo2 takeoffs.
Thanks
Hans
