Purerx7, That offset should fit fine without spacers. I'm going to run 10.5 +38... and I'm even thinking about putting 10mm spacers in the back.
10.5 + 38 up front or out back , tire specs [+38 seems high for feed fronts, I know Ken runs a single digit offset on a 255]? I know you don't have the rear feed widebody. I am trying to figure out what I can get away with for my feed widebody.

Starting to catch up to me Car looks fantastic and it was actually a big inspiration for me getting my feed kit.
Yes, it's +24 on all 4. Camber -2 front and -2.5 rear. It's like my 20th set if you count the ones I've sold and bought haha but for now, I am using this for daily use and my Enkeis for track. No spacers up front and 10mm rear.

If you are just talking fronts, with your setup I would run +38 front with 15 or 20mm spacers to get that flush look. I remember your rear is stock so I am not sure on that.

Hmmm, showing off my car is not really my thing...do I have to do anything at the booth? Do i get a free clutch?

I would say I drive the car about 2 days a week...most of the time, I actually get compliments from the cop but I did get a referee ticket one time when I was too lazy to take off the big *** GT wing. I sorta brought that upon myself since I was doing spirited driving at Angeles Crest...

I'm actually going to put Feed kit on my blk FD... and when ready, going back to 99 on the MB.

I hear ya, I pm'd you about the booth thing. And no, they don't give out free clutch.. But they might give you a good deal on one.

I'm sorry, but by what standard? body damage on one rear quarter, primer on the other, huge paint chips on hatch and bumper, both headlight covers and front fenders are unpainted, and one of the fenders looks to have a huge crease in it, not to mention there are stickers on the hatch and windshield. How is that "very clean?"

Ohr crap, I didnt realise these were a Feed light. We dont get this sort of thing over here so its new to me. Im sure I have seen a write up on how to put a Hella (i think) low beam light into the stock S8 indicator/parklight housings somewhere? I just cant seem to find any searching?

Trust me I know your car. I have drooled over the pics many a time in the past. It definitely provided inspiration to drop down the coin for these wheels.
