The quick and easy measurement is to get the tops of the tires even with the tops of the wheel openings (25”) – this is as low as you want to go for a street car. It also looks good, the tires fill out the wheel wells nicely!

Especially refinished in black, perhaps on a black car... Know where I can buy a set?

Mine aren't for sale!
Keep an eye out, they pop up from time to time, but they are rather pricey.

Haha, that was directed to Josh.
I look forward to seeing your 3 liter on the road. You're gonna love it.

Mine are the 18s so they look different, especially around the end of the spokes.

Any chance of you doing a conference call when you go for the first start?

Now how could I pay attention to all the important stuff if I'm on the phone?

Played with the front a little today and I think I have it where I'm going to leave it until I actually start driving.
Compare this to the above before photo. Looks a lot better!
A shot from the rear
And checking to make sure things clear

Darwin, are you front control arms almost horizontal? Maybe just a tad sloping up from the car to the spindle? That's about where you want them.
