Looks good but I would spread them out just a little more. I'd be nervous under that car.

I agree with Todd...those look a little tight. Kind of a safety concern in my book.

On another note...those wheels are awesome and I love seeing the brakes popping out.

Built mine 16"s wide for my wider rear tires and they feel really safe aswell, these stands are like a self smack in the head going why didnt i think of that not big on copying anything but these are way to nice and make the job way easier and safer to work on!
Used screws in mine long enough to go through both boards and one in each corner!
Another good use if you noticed they "DSE' put them on there sides and put jack stands on them to support bodies etc!
Its not by accident that DSE is where there at with the quality in there cars its little things like even these stands that is the attention too detail and the pride that goes into eveything they build. You'll find all the great builders be it shops or individuals if they are a very detail oriented person it shows in there cars aswell!

Doesn't mean it's right. Simply stating a few more inches would make sure the car would never have a chance of rolling off. My biggest concern would be during jacking.

hahaha what the hell make them "DSE"s idea??? a freaking wood stand is not something you consider a issue of copying anyways...
if you think dse was the first shop/person to think of this you seriously got to be off your rocker.
but i do agree brandon, it looks a little scary, looks much sturdyer like g-bodys 16"

I went to the DSE site and your stands look to be the same size. I still think they look (even the DSE ones) a bit small. Cool though.

How about some more pictures of your car.
