If I was to guess John, I think Sonic Boom's wheels are ET33 on 215/45/17 tyres.
Good choice on tyres too, hope you still got other wheels and road tyres for everyday use though

Stand out perfectly John, good buy
@ Sonic Boom
Sorry mate, that last message was directed at John, coz you can't drive around on R888's every day
But at least I was right on the offset

Whoops read it as one whole thing.
I put a 10mm spacer on the rears to bring the offset out to ET23 just fills the arches better.

You guys are in for a big surprise! The car is near completion, hopefully I'll be able to spare a lot of time...kicking John's ass in gear!
But my annoying lump of a motor is out of the way, so finishing the 3dr won't take as long as expected. Woop woop!!!
