Spacers on wheels are from those that fail to comprehend simple wheel offset and purchase accordingly.

There's a gazillion wheels that fit a C5, C6 etc with no additional fabrication nor added spacer garbage. Spacers are akin to the Javier's that throw-on whatever wheel the find cheap off craigslist onto their clapped-out 2002 Honda Civic. Paying no mind to the wheel protruding out the fender well by 2".

True. But I think you are forgetting just who we are dealing with. According to Doug, he "widetracks" everything.

It definately will help with under/over steer. That and the new three-fingered fender clearance for factory rake settings will optimize aerodynamics and corner-weight balance thus significantly
improving lap times I'm certain.

Apparently Doug is doing much of this to create stories for his blog or whatever it’s called.

Spend 20 grand to write a few 40 dollar stories.

Like I have posted…chasing pennies and missing the dimes.

It just doesn't matter. Once he's hacked this poor car up enough, he'll "flip" it for obscene "profit" and move on to the next shiny object.

All right place your bets, who set up the Vegas odds, all the necessary tools have been accumulated, either from my in-house supply or Advance or harbor freight, tutorial has been watched and notes have been taken, it’s 4:00 PM Eastern standard time, everybody place your bets, how long and do I get the job completed tonight lol

Shout out to my neighbor, $20 cash and $10 in gas was a bargain.

Job will not be completed, OR most likely, scope of project will be changed so as to be completed by a "new" definition of completed.
