Thanks again guys. Yes the wheels are all flush on the hubs. There is some scope for minor skimming of the back of the wheel face but not much as there is only about 5-6mms between the caliper and the wheel now. I did measure the backspaces carefully and checked when they arrived. I checked with Warwick and mine is the R32 rear end (the spring passes thru the upper suspension arm). The ride height is 190 now and should be a bit lower when motor and g'box are in and that should also fold the wheels in a bit more.

Still a mystery! The brake rotors are new ones and I can't imagine that one could take (or want to!) much off them. The LHR side is better than the Right, which also puzzles me. I am starting to like the look though! Maybe I should bring one wheel down to check. I am planning to have the motor dropped in when it arrives in a few weeks and and could get this damn wheel aspect checked then. I was going to have it painted before rego but could delay that.
