Managed to have some hubcentric spacers fitted to my C70 at last, have TPI 5mm at the front and 15mm custom made spacers at the back.
I think I could have gone wider at the back but was worried about bearings and kerbing while parking!
Purchased and fitted at Rochford Tyres (alloywheels.com) and they even threw in not one but TWO sets of locking wheel bolts because I had to wait a week!! (Thanks James!).

Sorry if the pics are not to clear.....gets dark earlier these days!

I use 50mm and 40mm spacers and the bearings seem to hold up ok :).

I've got 15mm on the front of my C70, and it's much lower than yours. Haven't done the back yet.

Now I am peed off, was trying to be conservative and not over do it....looks like I might have to add wider ones to next years 'redecorating' list !!

Back in 2007, before they got robbed - I just stuck 10J rears on.

That looks awesome!
I'm thinking the rear on mine could come out a smidge. ;)

Never found anything on the market that was similar to my deep dish. TBH they were mostly a disaster in terms of kerb rash.
