    It seems like the only ones that might fit are 215/40 or 215/45 but they will be really stretched on a 9" wheel!

    Why not ET20 or ET25 so 225/40/16s can be used and people can spacer-out if they want more "poke".
    the wheel would more than likely rub on the shocks or inner fender. as said in a previous post, these 16x9's are for look. deep dish lovers

        Great stance but that stretch is more than I'd like to run.

        I'm currently running 215/40/16 on a 16x8 so wouldn't it be a bit much for a 16x9? Is the 16x9 ET10 direct fit for the front with no issues or is that for the rear only?

        Mystikal.. what would the tire sizes be for a staggered setup from this GB?

        My 1989 325i vert (sold)...this is Nina

        My 1991 M5 (sold)... this is Veronica

          I would say 205/45/16 in the front and 215/40/16 in the rear. Maybe with some rolling you can get a 225/40/16 under the rear fenders.

              The more i look at pictures, the more i want a higher offset or an 8.5" wheel. I think i'm going to have to back out of this GB.

                      I would be more pleased with a 8.5 as well. Will you be stocking 8.5s after this groupbuy or setting one for 8.5?

                        I'm also on the fence because of the 9" thing...I'd sign up right now for the 8.5 if it was an option...

                        Do we know how many people want the 9 vs 8.5? I know a few people have said that they would be in either way but there may be more of a turnout if it was 8.5

                                Guys the point of making a 9" wheels is to get a huge lip. And the et 10 will fit very good all around:) We will only make 9".
                                Thanks,
