People running et15 9x16's...

Recommended Posts

How many mm do you have clearance wise at the back of the rims? from the wheel to the closest thing? rear beam or shocks?

 

Cheers,Neil. :)

Ahh thats how you know its low enough eh 8) :lol:

 

Possibly found some 9x16 borbet a's...just concerned about tyre sizes,they have 195/45's fitted :shock:

 

was wanting the correctish...size really so was thinking about machining the rear of the wheels to get a little more clearance.Cant really afford arch work yet...

 

Looking for pics of 195/45's fitted to 9's here :D

Could someone kindly check out the clearance at the back of the rims? 9x16 et15?

 

Neil. :D

 

really depends on suspension mate. i ran my keskins at et15 fine with little clearence and the borbet A required another 5mm spacer @ et 15 and the BBS have a huge gap but they are running a silly low offset.

 

this is based against the koni suspension although i think fk's may have more clearance for example!

 

i think personally the 215/35/16 is the perfect tyre or if you need a cheaper option the 205/40/16 is there but doesnt look has good. 45 profile is gay regardless if its 195 or 225

Cheers guys... :)

 

Thing is,if i do go for 215/35 i want it to stay low without a major tyre/arch issue...

 

Only thing i can think of is machining the wheel mating face even if its only a few mm i can get away with.

 

So if im running konigsports,where is the least clearance gonna be?

Suspension or rear beam?

 

Cheers,Neil. :)

 

mmmm,195/45's on an 8j rim at et27...and we are talking 215/35's on a 9j at et15 :?

195/40 on 8

215/35 on 9 --- i think this tyre will give you the most clearence or you can go 195/40 on a 9, but i wouldnt recommend that much stretching., plus not everyone can get that tyre on a wheel

Ok guys... :D

 

if i run 9x16 et15,with a 215/35.

 

How low will i be able to stay? i dont want that 'my wheels are too wide for my car' kinda look,want them to look like a good snug fit just sat nicely in contour with the arches.

 

Anyone any idea on clearance at the back with 9x16 et15? :D if i decide to machine them a bit on the back face?

 

Neil.
