Did you get wider tires in front, as well?
Per the other thread, 265s in front???

However, I'm keen on getting new wheels... so once I find something I'll switch to that.

305/30/20 will give the side walls the balloon look - which I don't like at all.
I like the look now and 295s wont change that too much.
My Shop advised to have a similar look as now I would have to go 305/25/20.
In saying that, lets see how we go when I need to change the rubber.

Sanch - your 15mm spacers work (AFAIK) because the inner flange which carries the extended "spacer hub" is just beyond the end of the existing hub. As you may remember from our conversations you thought that 15mm might be too thick for the oem suspension and the shop agreed when I first visited to decide which spacers to go for.
For clarity I knocked this up... not to scale! This is/was my problem (exaggerated) with the thinner spacers

If I'm interpreting this correctly the 8mm spacers allows the original hub to poke through the hole in the spacer enough to locate the wheel in position. I personally wouldn't go for this because (imo) it doesn't leave enough of the hub to take the stresses but it does mean the lugs aren't doing all the work!

I tried 10 and 12.5 mm spacers and both did not have the appropriate chamfer.
I have never had issues fitting spacers on a car before, have ran DRA/DR style multiple times in all sorts of thicknesses.
(15mm is more aggressive than I want on my 450 - 5 up front and 12 out back would be right on the money)

May I ask how the white interior has held up over time? Very close to ordering the white/black designo interior on the C43 I'm about to get, but am weary of whether the white will stain easily and/or be hard to maintain.

That's definitely good to hear, thank you for the reply, I'll be keeping this car long-term (purchasing not leasing) so it's a concern of mine. I know the black leather with red accents or brown designo will be less inclined to stain, but the black/white looks so good (especially with a black exterior).
