16X9s are gunna be a right headache with lowering also!!, your looking at pulling your arches.

Yeh you can buy different sized dishes to alter the width.

I still reckon you'll have to get the arches pulled, 8.5s on 15s are bad enough, let alone 16s!

Would look fat once you've got it sorted though

Well all about money

once i got these there not going straight on, probably put them on to see how them look then take them off i reakon i do need them pulled what you guys think of pulled and flared with 9's on back or do you reakon pulled and flared with 8.5's on back ?

Keep in mind Tom that he's going for 16"s too!!!

Out of the two, go for 8.5s mate

if your going to have your arches pulled then go for the 9's rather than the 8.5's and get the arches done to suit the 9's you will be able to get a 195/45 tyre on a 9 as my mate has them on his rs's the only problem is some people wont do it, even on my 8's none of the tyre fitters will do it where i live even tho im using a 195/40 that is tuv certified to fit on this size wheel so i have to go to the garage that i use for my repairs sorry to go off topic there

I had trouble getting my 195/45s fitted on my 15X8s. But instead of the garage turning the job down, they thought they'd have a try, resulting in fu*king up two of my alloys, then claiming they were like that when they got them, even though the alloys were brand new!!

thats well bad i hope they replaced the wheels for you.
yea it takes alot of beating with hammers and a big bead blaster to get them on his wheels but they do look the t**s with the stretch

195/45 on a 9" rim is not cool

took enough pressure to get them on my 8.5"

There was a bit of a debate, but things got sorted.

Definitely, can't ride without the stretch!

of course....but there are limits!

and 195/45 on an 8.5 on the back of a 6n2 is pushing it

Hmmm don't really know what to run. I am get 8.5 dishes run them for a bit and then step by step get archs done then stick the 9's back but what tires should i run for the 8's and 8.5's ?

pologti76 · Post by **pologti76** » Thu Apr 24, 2008 11:46 pm

on the 8's i would use a 195/40 and on the 8.5's use a 195/45 or 50 dont try a 40
