They're 245's? How wide are your rims then as my 9j rears fit 245's perfectly?

put it this way..........i run a 9 inch rear on an ET24 and the kit/arch has not been altered yet!!

i would have had no chance on a 40 profile.

They do catch (only when fully laden) but still not too bad considering the width/offset

tbh even with 35 profile my wheels would still rub being et15. The thing with the 40 profile is it kinda matches the profile of the old btcc cars...altho it does make the rims look like 16's

i've got 245-35 on my 8x17 et15 rears and it does catch but only when laden or when booting it and the shocks are set soft..
