Default Wide rims

I found a set of Azev A rims which would look nice on my 3dr I guess. Only 'problem' is, the rear ones are 9" wide with ET15. Will this fit, or is it too wide?

hmmm Azev A rims

I would go for it, i think they will look great on your 3dr.

Before gettin the rims, just try them on your 3dr and look what is does.
Then you know for sure.

But i think it may not be a problem fitting them.
But always better to try first.

Arches might need trimming abit but they would certainly fill the arches out like a wheel should on a 3dr!

I'm sure I saw a crazy 3 Door Track car in Moonstone on Ebay with 11 x 17 on the rear, god knows what mods he had done to the archs though or what offset he was running.

I have 8 inches with an offset et 16 (with some arch rolling)

I'm now looking at getting 9.5 or even 10s on the rear.

I'm certain I can get 9.5s on, but I think it will require cutting off the edge of the metal arch in the wheel well and trimming all of the plastic bodykit arch.

Therefore I'm sure the Azevs' will fit.
Hope this helps.

Problem is already solved...
Those wheels are 16" and not 17" like we first thought
