    Dave have you found the forum for the factory five cars? www.ffcobra.com. There is quite a number of guys building the 33 over there and they are quite helpful. They could probably save you some time on getting the correct offset for sure.

    hey thanks guys !
    i have been on the FFR forms and found a 5-1/2" backset is what i need , that would be about 12mm offset .
    very hard to find a 19x10" wide 12mm offset .
    trying to go 18 front and 19 rear , i can come up with 20mm offset 9.5 wide and run 1/2 spacer on the rear , the fronts are no problem with an 18x8 and 20mm offset on them is 5.5 backspace . i just don't like the idea of running a spacer on the rear .

    the lambo replicas were fun to build but very demanding ! the fabrication was unbelievable . just to build the doors would take forever .
    around a year to complete and that was working on it almost everyday .

    i am so looking forward to building a REAL kit ! the pickup date is october 12th .

    once i get started i am sure i will have some build pics to share .
    i do all my own interior work and paint , basically everything from ground up .

    here is a picture of the orange lambo i just sold .









    thanks again

    Dave
