    Is This Normal?? 16x9's

    Brock B1's, 16x9, et15. They stick out past the fender about an inch. I know it'll be a tad less when sitting down, but still. Could rolling and maybe a little pulling get these to work?

        Well of course, I can see that. Hah. But I've seen many others running this size wheel with stock fenders (no flares, or excessive pulling) and they don't poke that much? I mean it looks like I'd need to build some flares or something to make these fit.

          There's a reason people who run those wheels are generally low as fuck, the camber pulls them in a decent amount.

            Push the trailing arm up and watch it sink in. Or sell them to me because they poke too much ;)

                Hahaha. After doing some more research, I think I may be able to make them fit. If not then I'll hit you up.

                I'm on ST springs and Bilstein sports, its about as low as H&R races I think. so I think I can make em work with no camber. 215/40/16s should do the trick.

                    They'll look totally different dropped on the ground with a tire.

                    My buddies swore my 17x9 ASA wheels wouldn't fit my 5 lug car but even with a 20mm spacer on the front, 235 tires, and the coilovers all the way down they are no problem. :)

                      I have a 5 mm spacers, slightly pulled fenders and 245/15/16. No rubbing whatsoever.
                      If i go low enough the rim sits inside the fender. So yes, they will fit no problem.

                        yep with a 15 sidewall I'd think there wouldn't be rubbing either :p

                          Your not gonna have a problem once it's on the ground. I have the same wheels and they fit no problem with 225/40/16s.
                          Some people even run spacers with their ET15s and all they need is a roll/smaller tires.

                            Here's another pic.
                            I'm on H&R sports and there's tons of room.

                              Awesome! I ordered some Nexen (Ive read they're pretty decent?) 225/45/16s so I'm hoping they'll fit as good as your 225/40/16s.
