    Help widening wheels

    I have a set of 3pc Hartges, 16x7.5 ET15, which I want to widen to 16x9 ET6 out back and prob 16x8 up front.

    I haven't got dishes bought yet because I wanted to test fit with my Borbets to make sure it will fit, which I did earlier today



    Thats the rubber bump stop pretty much hitting the top spring pad and I still have a little movement in the wheel but it just about starts to rub. Tire size is 225/40.

    Here's the catch though... I would like to run a decent size rubber with minimal stretch, possible a 225/45 like this which is 16x9 et15 225/45. The other catch is I have camber and toe plates on the rear beam but I don't want to run excessive camber, the closer to stock at ride height the better.

    Is it possible 16x9 et6 with 225/45? And 16x8 205/50 up front with maybe a spacer to push it out to be nice and flush?
Working...
