Looks awesome, Jeff- glad HRE finally got them to you! I can't wait to see the completed car!

Jeff's rear wheel " frontspacing" is the same as my 841Rs- technically, he gained 1/2" from Rom's set-up. Wheel manufacturers measure the lip from inside bead-to-inside bead, so if Jeff measured the actual outside lip exposure, he should see something closer to 3 3/4" lip (the nominal wheel dimensions do not account for the rolled outer & inner edges- 20x11 actually = 20x12 overall).

The 543R is a splendid choice... that's the only thing I miss with the 841Rs- exposed bolts just look expensive and classy!! Gottta love those polished inners! 305/25-20 on the rear is going to rock (you're going to need it, my friend!)

ah ic, so jeff has 3 3/4" in the back, that's awesome i would love to know what fender mod jeff you have to do to get them fit. something like what bob did to his car?
