Nice job. Car looks much better with the silver wheels.

NevilleNobody: TheMurse says his car is a widebody. So I would disregard his rear wheel offsets for your narrow body. Again, I think if you want to run the Carrera V rear wheels on your car you will need the 69 offsets with a 7-12mm spacer.

A 69 offset with 7-12mm spacer makes the net offset 57-62

Thanks for all the details guys, i was interested in 2 sets of wheels, one Carrera V and the other RW5's. The V's are too wide at the rear with perfect fronts and the RW5's are too wide at the front with perfect rears! :lol:

I like Murse's car at the rear, it looks a little too low for me at the front but each to his own of course. I want to be very, very subtle, so one doesn't notice it is lower but it reduces that guard gap a touch.

Had the car out this weekend.
Here are some additional photos you asked for NevilleNobody with an emphasis on the wheel offsets.




If you look closely, the shadow the fender lip casts on the front tire and rear tire are nearly the same. From the front view, I could see moving the rear tires out about another 3mm (run with a 10mm spacer vs. the 7mm used in the photo), but it isn't enough for me to do over....

That looks pretty good man, just needs to be lowered a half inch to close the guard gap.
