Opinions welcome

After the fitting of front & rear spacers I finally got the new wheels on over the Calipers!, but I 'm thinking the fronts are sticking out Too much????

a car.
The wheels look great but I second you on the spacing. They'd look a bit better flush with the fender.

+1. That being said, in all likelihood only yourself and other car nuts (like myself and other forum members here) are going to notice this. Not sure how much trouble/money you would incur/spend to line up the wheels with the fenders but it might not be worth it. Nice looking Estate!

The only way these wheels will line up is with smaller calipers or an off set top mount to pull the suspension leg back a few mill [if one such item exists?]then the unthinkable problems such steering feel/handling/tire ware etc, I do like the look of the wheel so maybe I can check to see if there is a more suitable offset available?.

Thanks for the input

Just noticed Camber plates are available, would they be of any help?

Looks great! I think you're being a bit micro. It's a good job.

I agree with everyone else -- it looks great as is now. Don't waste money on something nobody will notice but you and couple of guys here, unless, of course, it affects your handling.
