obviously there is more than just wheel size/offset to reach the "perfect" stance to ones taste but why dont you wanna give out size/offsets? lol

i mean this is a forum to share info and help others build their cars.

Edwin,

Feel honored that you would bless me with your presence man. Sincerely, thank you. Didn't have the car down in Houston, but it would have still been great to hang. Thats on me. Soon enough though my friend... soon enough.
Still dreaming about a ride in the Turbo!

Ben

damn nice work mate. i PMed you way back on VSC when i first got my car and asked about offsets and such and you let me know what you were running at the time with straight advice and not just saying the craziest ofsets you know can be made to fit!

glad i went the sizes i did on mine, but definately want to step it up now on mine too with my next set of wheels.

As Jed says you can never really nail it in 1 shot, you really need to get a setup going then decide if you can live with more stretch, lower, more camber, etc etc. tbh if you went from dead stock wheel setup to something like Jeds you would probably almost be overthinking it and not think it can work. once you know whats what with all the rest of it then you can get it next time round..!
