OK, weather turned nice so some shots as promised. The wheels are set up with an 18/20 stagger. This is the result of one of those 'gazing at the car over a beer' moments. It occured to us (a couple of the SurreyMustang.com team) that whilst the front wheels looked right on our setup, the area of bodywork around the back wheels made them look a bit wimpy. So we threw these on...
Not 100% sure this is the final solution so comments would be welcome. We are arguing amongst ourselves over whether a 19/20 combo would be better and maybe a low-profile tyre setup might work too. Although the higher tyre walls are more 'retro' and our kind of style. They ride nicer too.
Anyway, some pics:

From this angle you don't really notice the stagger but the stance looks just right.

Directly side-on is where the setup looks the most obvious and the extra height at the back due to the increased circumference on the rear wheels really shows.

From the threequarter back view, it just looks FAT!
Like it or Loath it?
Let me know...
