Thanks for the compliments guys.
Ok now to the new news. I was out last night with buddies and took some more pics and really started to notice the fronts look great from the front view.... but DO look a tad too far in when looked at from the back view. All this time I was thinking it was the alignment and was looking at adjustable upper control arms (which i still may do if needed).
I double checked the HRE specs they sent for my serial numbers and DUH... I totally thought the difference was 2mm front/rear... its actually 10 mm
So really... YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT !!!!!!
3/8 spacers will be on their way as soon as I can decide which ones to get.. any reccomendations? any hub centric 3/8s out there ? I may give Doug rippie a call again I used theirs on my vette and theyre black anodized too so they'll match. A 3/8 will bring the offset the same front to back which should look fine and much better.

I did a lot of measuring etc today and figured out what I needed to do. I ordered longer studs from drm, nice polished thin lug nuts and custom bore and hub centric spacers (thanks for the link 99BluZ28!) all today. Should have them hoping by end of next week and I'll get to mashing the wheel studs out and get everything back together.
I still almost can't believe how off I was on the offset. I totally thought it was much less than what it was in the front so I believed that it was the camber causing them to look so tucked !

Long story short I picked this SS up recently and it just screamed 'save me'. I worked out the usual plan of mods and it turned up quite well. Still need to play with ride height as I was late and had to come into work but the ride is great but the new tires are hella greasy atm. Enjoy the Pics !!!
Some Before and After:
As she was when I bought her.. Just cleaned up and washed.
