My wife said 9.5" is enough...haha!

Plus it doesnt count if your car is not on the road yet!! ;)

 

If you were looking for track/performance I would suggest the 6UL Wheels  - build quality, weight and price are all pretty fantastic.  Different aesthetic though...

I got my my wheels on now 15x8 +25 and this is how they sit. Fronts poke out more then the rears. With this set up it actually doesnt rub at all because of the tire stretch vs my old set up with 15x6.5 +38 with a 6mm spacer. So I think you might be able to get away with having 16x8 without having to do too much extra work with fitting them. Car is lowered 2.5 inches.

Nice,is that on coilovers? Will you be goin any lower than that to close the gap abit between tyre n arch?
Il be goin for 16 8j but with an 0et,I know they will stick out with 0et but hopefully the coilovers will adjust the camber as iv seen another members car on here who had xxr in gold wheels

Yeah I might drop it a bit more. The new wheels sure made it a bigger gap because of the stretch. Its on BC coilovers.

Still having doubts that a 16inch wheel et25 8j will clear the struts and not have any problems due to fact that its a 16?
So in other words just if anyone knows if a 16 8j et25 wil be ok and not touch against the struts.

Thanks
