Did you need/use a spacer? I needed to use a 1/8" spacer on the front only because the S197 hubs are deeper than the recess in the wheels. They also required the hubcentric centering rings and special lug nuts that came packaged with the wheels.

Tires:
Cooper
Zeon 2XS
275/40-18

Suspension Mods: Tokico D-Spec shocks/struts, Vogtland springs, J&M LCA's, Spohn adjustable panhard bar, Stillen adjustable F&R stabilizer bars.

can't post a pic at this time, but there is plenty of top clearance between tiew and fender. they do stick out past the wheelwells about 1.5 to 2 inches, but that was the old road racer look i was going for.

Wheels:
Brand - Weld Evo
Model - Forgestar Chrome
Wheel Diameter - Front: 20X9.5 Rear 20X10.5
Did you need/use a spacer?
Initially, when I bought these wheels in 2005, weld had to supply thin spacers as they made the first batch of rear wheels incorrectly. Subsequently, the rear wheel chrome shattered and flaked and had to be returned under warranty (at my considerable expense). The replacement rears were obviously redesigned in the inter-rim (see what I did there..)and are a little chunkier in design.

Tires:
Brand - Dunlop
Model - Sportmaxx
Size - Front 275/35/20 Rear 275/35/20 (rears aren't wide enough and will be replaced with 285 or 295 when they wear out.)

Tokico D Spec adjustables and Roush lowering springs, SHR rear panel and medallion, Spoiler Store GT500 spoiler and hood scoop, chrome tail-light bezels, Prospeed exhausts.

Can't seem to edit the original post so I've updated the details.

Aren't those the wheels that Cervini uses?

Can't seem to find the brand all I can come up with is the Driving Simulator GT Legends which incidentally uses the same logo and type
