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!

Thanked 3,484 Times in 2,466 Posts Never found anything on the market that was similar to my deep dish. TBH they were mostly a disaster in terms of kerb rash.
