Are you lowered?  :grin: :scared:

And if so......yes it'll rub like the thighs on a fat wench! If your not lowered they will stick clear out the side of the car, will look proper fugly too.

Have a read of Jay's thread, very informative...........

On air you can run pretty stupid spec wheels

I run 9" and I wouldn't go any wider on the front

There was someone on here running 3sdm 0.001 18x9.5 et40 all round

It all depends on how low you want to go

This is 9.5 on the rear of my car. I can't get it to sit like this unless I put some serious tyre gel on. If I were you I wouldn't run anything more than a 9 on the front
