[schild=11 fontcolor=000000 shadowcolor=C0C0C0 shieldshadow=1]cheers people [/schild]

 

anyone running 9x16's?

 

could i get away with running the following on standard ride height for now?

 

front 9x16 et 25

 

rear 9x16 et 15

 

all with 205/40's.

 

i know the rears will stick out 10mm more than the front,but both should have a nice dish 8)

 

cheers,neil.

 

Hi mate

 

I do get occasional rubbing between the outer wall of the rear tyres and the lip on the inside of the arch. I have 7.5x16 et25 wheels, and 215/40/16 rubber. The suspension is Leda coilovers with 250lb rear springs, which is probably harder than any kit has. I am lowered at the rear by no more than 40mm.

 

I think you will deffinately have problems at the back..... the std suspension might be a bit flappy to keep those wheels under control.

Hi,

 

I used to have 9 x 16" ET15 Borbet B's all round on my rado with 205 40 R16 tyres all round. I was running full Koni adjustable suspension with lowered springs and I had rolled arches. I woul get rubbing quite a lot so I would recommend you get arches rolled and possibly extended professionally and defo. get coilovers as well. Should be ok with this,

 

Cheers,

thanks for the input guys,appreciated :D

 

andycowuk ,your suspension must a cost a small fortune :shock:

 

so no problems with the fronts then?

in either 7.5 or 9x16...

 

are there not many 9x16's in offsets more like 35 then? :oops:

 

i know its only maybe 20mm difference but could help a lot!
