(btw - here are the wheels leading the way at the moment - 17x9.5, +38mm offset, 6.7" backspace - just need to find the red bowtie center caps if I win the auction! A 2" spacer/adapter should get me the room I need on the rear corners. Don't know about the fronts yet. Then on to finding tires! To quote the 'OvenMitt' - "Will it never end...!!!")
(here's the current #2 choice - 17x8.5, +56mm offset)
(and these are #3 - 17x9, +50mm offset)

Your welcome. With a 6.7 offset, you might need a touch more than 2 inches. Probably not, but maybe. It depends on your tire profile. Just something to keep in mind.
As far as will it never end. Aww come on, you own a C3. No. It will never end.
Enjoy it!
