    Make it work?

    Alright, I know 15x9's are virtually impossible to run upfront, but I found these Rotas ( http://www.racinglab.com/rota-shakotan-001.html ) w/ +0 offset, so I'm thinking it may work? Obviously gonna have to pull the fenders to hell, but any ideas?

    Those wheels are cool as hell, but if they do fit thats a fuckton of poke. I hope you can pull it off!

          They will bolt on no problem, but they're gonna stick out almost an inch. You better be low or else it will look horrible. Run 205/50 or 195/55

          The back won't be too bad as long as you have a good roll going on.

            Ohhh yea, im going low. Gc coilover conversion kit is on the way. Think its feasable to roll the front out that much? doesnt need to be perfect, just dont want it to look like trash.

              You may be confusing rolling your fenders with pulling your fenders. Rolled is when you essentially bend up the inner fender lip for about an additional 1/2" or so. Pulling your fenders is the actual widening of the arch, using various methods, but all requiring pretty extensive bodywork. Sick wheels though. Good luck

                  Gp.plus : Yeah, what i meant. I normally just refere to any fender modding as "rolling", so thats my bad. And NitroRustlerDriver : That last pic is of an Aston Martin DB7. On stock rims. Just to point it out haha.

                    Get camber plates. It will make fitting the fronts much easier. I run a 50 profile tire on my 15 and it looks fine so that should give you more options. I agree with the 205 or 195. Maybe a 215 if you are feeling ballsy.

                      Eh, whatever. I literally just searched Google for "Rota" and picked a few of the many pictures of broken wheels.

                        205/50 wont have too much stretch on a 9" wide rim though, will it? Im thinking no, but i need to be able to auto-x and track day these things...
