16x9 ET6 anyone got it fitted?

16x9et10 215/40. Sold them because the tire size was too small diameter-wise (among other reasons, but that definitely influenced it).

If your body guy can't get them to fit then has zero skill or no imagination. Castros are able to caress the fenders out far enough to fit negative offset 9.5" wheels with 255s

that's what I'm saying

people that say he isn't going to fit the offset and size he asked about and not be able to run any kind of tire width at all are crazy... fender rolling/pulling are not hard at all. It depends if you want to put in a little work to fit more tire or less tire. My fenders are barely massaged, and I run nearly this same outer rim lip to fender clearance (10" +15) with a chunky tire now.

:D

I'm going to see the painter this week, anyone care to elaborate on what needs to be done to fit them so I can tell him? I rather not have to come back to this after the whole car has been resprayed.

Before I got my RS's, I was running 16x9 +15 A's with a 5mm spacer (so +10 effective) with a 225/45R16 Kumho...

Fender lips were folded in and thats about it. Running 650lb rear springs with konis it would only scrub on the biggest of all bumps (2-3 times a week daily driven).

Thanks wakdog for the pics and wheel/tire/spring sizes. I suppose 4mm more might be manageable, I'm not going for a crazy low car. Yours looks just perfect the way it sits. I must look into what springs I got with my BC's!

My wheels are 16x9, et18 out back and 16x8.5 et24 up front. I am running 205/40 tires up front and 215/40 out back. The first picture is with a 15mm spacer all around and the second is with 15mm up front only.



There is a decent ammount of room like this. I think with a nice roll and maybe slight pull I could get a 225 easliy and probably a 235.

Love them wheels are they OZ or Keskin (I can't tell the difference)? Your pretty much ET3 with the spacer, I'm getting less and less worried after the last few posts.

[325ix]

They are the OZ's, the center caps are the big difference, the keskin's don't have the ring on them.

[Jozi]

Didn't know that! Did you widen them yourself?

No sir, the PO bought them off of El Camino, I believe.
