9x16 borbet a help

[Riley 0]

alright guys :D

 

ive decided to go for said wheels,9x16 all round after having a couple p/shops done 8) .

 

the thing is ive searched and seen many differences of opinion on et and tyre size.

 

would anyone running this size and coilovers be able to measure how much room they have between wheel and coilover body?

 

its just that on the mk1 i was able to stick to et35 when running 9x14's and coilovers,so what et do i want on the rado all round?

 

im running fk konigsports,also any pics/opinion on tyre size,i dont mind a slight stretch.

 

cheers,neil. :)

Black centres look amazing !! 9 is too wide tho dude, unless you don't mind them out of the arches or getting them pulled out....

[Riley 0]

aye i dont mind them sticking out m8,i quite like it in fact :D

 

arch work will have to be done at a later date if needed,but ill still have the porsche rims.

 

cheers,neil.

9x16 et 15 with 205/40 tyres all round should do the trick nicely

 

not feeling the black centres but flat caps is a must in my opinion

[Riley 0]

cheers furki,maybe its the added sunstrip thats not looking right? its too black i think but anyway :lol:

 

yeah,flat caps will be a definate!

 

et15 all round?

 

and anyone any pics of there tyres? etc?

 

thanks,neil. :)

Black centres with flat caps.. I'd run 195/40/16's for the stretch!!!

[Riley 0]

that would be a stretch!! :shock:

 

if i run 205/40's will i have clearance probs?

 

neil.

black centers yes...sunstrip no... I've got 205/40's on my 8" wide 17's and they do sometimes catch with a 60mm drop, although not much. what offset are the borbets?

 

- edit -

whats the little badge above your indicator? is that a german flag?

[thorpey 0]

[Riley 0]

cheers m8 8)

[Furkz 0]

fronts folded and rears cut

hmmmmmmm although i have 7.5 front and 9 rears i had the fronts cut and rears rolled??? bizarre, works though :?

[thorpey 0]

must admit rolled looks better

[Furkz 0]

:lol: i like cut better, oooops depends how low you want to run it, ilike my lowered, hard

[thorpey 0]

yeah low looks nice and aggressive

[Riley 0]

im not confused,honest :lol:

 

neil.

[Furkz 0]

Riley, to be totally honest:

 

mine are

 

cut-front

rolled- rears

 

another 91 g60

 

rolled flat- rears

std- frot

9x16 all round

 

rubbed like crazy on rears

 

 

another 90 g60

rolled- rears

std- fronts

 

ran fine no rubbing

 

 

another g60 sitting slightly higher than mine at the front required no arch work on the front on same rims

 

 

all examples are given from cars ive seen running jus not named names, jus in case.....

 

so it really depends on ya car mate tbh,,,so stick the wheels on and see what happens,,, jus budget for the worse and if ur arches dont require work its a bonus thats how i did it

 

Good Luck

[Riley 0]

thanks furki 8)

 

yeah,ill just see what happens,i could at least run it a little higher if it catches anywhere for the time being.

 

and if arch works needed id probably have a go myself :)

 

ok guys,who did your arch work?

 

thanks so far,neil.
