Default Longshot- Anyone got a pic of the hub mounting surface of a rear C4S lobster claw?

I'm looking at a set of C4S lobsters for fitment on a 928 GTS that's gonna need a little more tire. I think I have the spacer issues licked, now the question is whether the recesses are deep enough to house protruding lug studs. GTS's have 88 mm long studs with a 38mm factory spacer, so if I go to a narrower (~23mm) bolt-on spacer, the studs will protrude . No joy from a search - Somehow people don't seem to post pics of the backs of their wheels.... Here' s the measurement/view I'm looking for- (the pictured wheel is a Cup 1, with a big (70 mm) recesses)


Thanks in advance!

I get 27-28 mm on an 11 ET67 wheel (factory lobster fork) That is net of the thickness of the piece I used to span (your measurement appears to be gross of this, but not 40mm!). My wheel is from a C2S, but it would surprise me if this dimension varied.
