You'll get a fag paper between the inside of the rim and the arm but it will go.

I'll get some pics of the arm and inside of the rim tonight if you want

Mine are et15, with a 245/40-17 rear tyre on a 9j....fronts are 8.5j with a 235/40-17tyre also et15

Its taken some major mods though...this pic was taken prior to it going down body shop for full paint and also the required arch mods, hence why it's sitting so very high. cant find a side shot to give you an idea of arch fill out, sorry, but trust me when I say its used the body kit to its potential

yeah it DID


9.5 will take some major metal away (as per stu's above the extra offset equates to approx the same)

......if he's measured across the full width of the rim then they are 8.5" not 9.5" (as per my pic where mine measure 10")

but I stand to be corrected if hes has cut the metal away

Measured mine whilst on the ramp the other day and the fronts are 7.5" and rear's are 8.5" i forgot to minus an inch from the measurement. All i can say is going above this size will definitely need work as mine needs the arches on the back trimming and that's with the koni shocks on hard.
