they should but you may need a bit of stretch on the tyres

100% depends on the ET of the wheels mate.

im afraid i dont know the final offset that the wheels had. I had the arches rolled and pulled and run a 195,45 tyre on them. It wasnt very low and still rubbed a bit sometimes. I personally think 9" would be far too wide, 8.5" was pushing it.turkpolo wrote:Tomo, what was the offset for the rear??
