Have a chance to score a good deal on some wheels however the offset is 12. What is the proper, ideal or minimum offset I can use on a 02 without flaring the body?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Paul,

Try hanging a chicken's foot, or a pinch of Copenhagen on top of each tire.

Good thing my wife has not seen this, if she wear something like this, I would never finish Lola.

I would definitely be interested in the hood (btw what is the color), however I am in Dallas, no chance of shipping would there? Even the cheapest way (no real hurry). Oh course I would cover the co ...

May I ask what kind of paint set up did you do for the car? 2 stage, lacquer?

Doing research on painting, just thought I ask.
