xyber 1 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 9s will need arch work so could get trickyIve got 8.5 on the rear and needed custom spacers to get it spot onAs around on wheelwhores would be your best bet probably as a few on there have got 9 wide porker wheels all-round Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 9s would need an ET around 15ish to fit.....BUT will need arches rolling Link to post Share on other sites

xyber 1 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Depends on the wheels, do a search on eBay for OE wheels Link to post Share on other sites

supadupagt4 0 Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 bloody confusing this wheel lark! can someone who's got 8.5's on the back and 7-7.5's on the front in 16" let me know the offsets, toe in/out and camber angles.thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 you never know for sure weather they will go on easy until the day, I spoke to a few big name wheel specialist about mine and when me and a mate actually measured up, they were all wrong by quite abit!! But as your going for 16's that makes things easier and wheels with a high offset will suit, then you can adjust with spacers for a perfect fit and then worry about the rest once the suspension is lowered and you go and have your geometry setup as your settings wont be the same as the next blokemost aftermarket wheels these days have a high offset as it makes them fit a broader spectrum of cars using adaptor kits/multi PCDs/spacers, Just make sure if spacers are used always use hub-centric ones if possible and check if longer bolts are neededHave you got any wheels in mind?
