Thanks everyone, greatly appreciate the comments.

I have to say that I'm like a pig-in-poo at the moment!

Congratulations. I love that interior color!

I just picked up an 08' C4S and will be taking a drive to the observatory next weekend!

Thanks for the info. I have WB turbo wheels on a C2. The fronts should be similar to yours (unless the NB version is 8 not 8.5"). I'm debating between adding 7 or 10mm in the front. Are you happy with the 7?

Thanks.

My rims and tires are:
  • Front: 997.362.156.02 (8x19, ET57) - 235/35-19
  • Rear: 997.362.162.09 (11x19, ET67) - 295/30-19

So far I'm okay with the 7mm up front. But it's early days, need more seat-time on them to come to a final conclusion.

If I do change the fronts, it'd probably drop back down to factory 5mm spacers. There isn't a lot of hub-lip poking though with the 7mm spacers. It's supposed to be okay, but I dunno...

Thanks for the detailed info - when I bought my car it had Avant Garde Ruger Mesh wheels. The fronts were 8.5 X 19 ET45, which explains why 8.5 x 19 ET56 on my Turbos feels a little anemic to me. I'm going to go with the 10s.

I'm usually not a fan of these dark brown interiors but that Cocoa looks super lux. Congrats!
