Looking good mr Turtle!
But didn't I tell you I wouldn't sell those wheels if they were going on a car car that was lowered in the rear? You know what to do..   Grin

very nice mr T!
perhaps you could lower the front 1-2cm? then you'd match the front and rear tyre gaps.

hope you'll fit the longtime engine project soon too! Cool

@died, we've allready tried to lower the front a tiny bit but the tires start rubbing instantly when lowering the front.
we are considering of narrowing the front about 2-3 cm and then we can lower the front just a bit more.

To make the car a little bit nicer to drive, and to look at, we decided to narrow the front 3.4 cm...
This way the front can lower just a little bit more and the tires wont rub anymore.
Here are some pictures off narrowing the front beam, I machined some insert to be sure the beam stays straight.
