13" = 330mm
6" of lip = 153mm
7" of barrel = 177mm
0 et would be at 165mm from each edge of the rim.
so it looks like his specs IF his pad mounting height IS Right where the lip and barrels are would be at 12mm offset. Although his pad is probably more in past where the two halves meet his offset would be around 0et or less. I am doing this for the rear by what he has told me.
also this does not apply to all wheels with it all depends on the shape of the face etc.
example of what i mean by his pad is more in than where the face would get sandwhiched in between the lip and barrel.

Talk about changing the car to fit the wheel. I've never heard of someone doing things in this particular order. You dont even have coils yet.... How dyou know if you're gunna like the ride height? How dyou know if you'll like the fitment AFTER its dropped? Fitting it before you're at the ride height you want is a little counterproductive because the alignment will change again....
With that being said, after ALL (i mean ALL) the work is completed, it'll look very very baller. Keep cranking at it.

*****, sorry to say bro, but its not looking right,(im giving you an honest opinion, people who said it looks good dont effin listen to them) its just a those wheels are not ment to be for sc3/4.
It seems that wide body is an answer here too.
Ifthe fender lip was a lot smoother coming out of the body it would be different. You just trying to make wheels fit, but completely trashing the body lines of your beautiful car.(but it is your car you can do what you want)
Im sorry i had to come out like that, but at least im being realistic. I know youve got a lots of time and money and sweat invested, but the car is totally going in the wrong direction.

if you've been following along any of my other threads, and even this one, you will see that this was never in my plans, I never wanted to hack my fenders up so drastically, but after all the work and money I put into these wheels, ill be damned if I didn't get to put them on the car for the summer time, so this was the temporary fix that at least allows me to drive on them while I figure out what to do next.
Anyways wide body or over fenders was my original plan after installing the wheels, but that's no longer the idea, ive reduced the flares by at least 50% , they are still not what I had planned, but they are much better then before.
You may not like these wheels or feel they belong on the Sc, but I LOVE them, and so does everyone I come across, ive been getting people trying to buy them off me everywhere I go , including while driving on the highway lol.
Considering the other options, which are wide body, plastic flares, or over fenders, Im going to live with what I have now.
Do me a favour, when I post pics of my car finished, give me your honest opinion at that time, its just a little unfair now as the pics your seeing are of a completely unfinished product.

im actualy loving the way its coming along, these flares might not necesarilly flow with the body lines, but id rather sacrifice a little ebit of the lines in order to have these monster wheels on my car.
Comes down to a matter of taste that's all, ive always loved big fat wheels.
still needs a little finishing work , but flares are 95% done
