Looking at trying some pretty different wheels out, can I push and squeeze 9.5" on all round? What's the best offset that's going to help me the most?

Any help appreciated ;0)

:rolleyes:

maybe it is my imagination , didnt we already talk about this?? :xconfused: :xconfused:

as for offset -

std wheels = 88.9mm either side of the centre line

9.5 " = 120.65 either side of the centre line

so the 9.5 is 32 mm wider either side.
you need to check clearence between your coilovers and the oem wheels before we can begin to calculate the offset. if it is less than 32mm we are in trouble.
9.5's will be tough to fit and keep the car driveable.

Get the Fast Road Setup! They do all the geo to the wheels you currently have on 8)
Cured any wobbling mine used to get in braking. Currently on very VERY light Lensos 17x7 ET40 that have widened the track.
