    ROFL

    That front fitment is BEEF. Did you have to roll the front fenders at all?

      Unfortunately I don't have any pics of in between the strut and wheel but there's about a index finger thick gap. -3 camber all around I believe
      That looks fantastic!

        Wow, that looks incredible.

        There are also some great tires still available in 225/50 which would be very nice on a 15x9 I'd think.

              Anyone have tried 245 40 15 on an 8''? Faster than 225 45?

                    I’m very interested in the 15x9 rims and they look awesome. Is there a chance you could measure the backspacing the next time you have them off?

                    Thanks!

                      These look great, maybe on my list for next year. If i pm out a template you think you could do me a solid and see the fitment behind the Massive 300x32? No rush.

                          So I've been waiting for 949 to release their 15x8 6UL in Exocet and just found out that they won't be selling it.

                          I was planning on upgrading from my current 215's on TRM C1 8" rims to 225/45-15 on the 6UL 8"s.

                          Now I have several options:

                          225/45-15 on my TRM C1's.
                          225/45-15 (stretch) on the 6UL 9's
                          245/40-15 on the 6UL 9's.

                          I once had 5 lug on the car and the fenders are rolled for 245 rear and 235 front. The car is a mix of street and track HPDE.

                          I obviously want good performance but don't want to make it a pain to putz around in.

                          Opinions? The DirtyS54, please chime-in and update your experience....

                            DirtyS54 sold his E30 so he likely wont be around here much anymore.

                            How wide are the C1s?

                              I'd run the x8 6ul on the front, youd have to run a good amount of camber in the front to make a x9 fit.

                                After talking to Dan at 949 I've ordered the 6UL in 15x9 et 12. My offset calculator shows that compared to the 8" TRM C1 et20 that I have now, I'll be 5mm tighter against the strut, currently at 4mm, so I will need a small 5mm spacer.

                                My clearance limitation now is the tire, not the rim.

                                It will be an 8.9" tire on a 9" rim, as pictured.

                                I'll be running these with a 225/45-15, probably the Hankook Ventus RS-4.
