if you have time a heat gun and a thick glove can bend your arch lining to fit but be carful not to burn yourself

Im running 18x9.5j et35 Rota Torque Drifts all round on mine.

I ditched the front arch liners as I melted a hole in one lol, I've DIY rolled the arches all round and I dont rub, but do scrape my wishbones on the inside lip of the fronts on full lock and hard cornering at slow speeds, nothing some spacers cant sort though.

Im going to have my arches rolled so that flat lip on the arches disappears completley Smile

Im also pretty low Id say compared with most on here so you shouldnt have any issues unless you slam the thing!

My advice would be 9's on the front 9.5/10's on the rear

Going back to a subject I brought up aaages ago, I was looking at getting some Rota Torques months ago.

I used the wheel fitment guide from the my.is site to create a spreadsheet that works out all the possible fitment issues for me.

And it says that I can fit a 18x8.5 et48 with 5mm spacers front and rear with no issues at all. (my car isn't lowered below standard, although its a sport model and I'd just be refitting my 225 tyres on them)

Would you say this is correct that I could do that with no rolling, arch liner mods etc?

EDIT: Meant 18x8.5, not 18x8

Ignore my above post, I found my original thread from when I first asked and I'd already decided the maximum for the front was 8", although I could go a fair bit wider on the rear but decided to also just stick with 8" on the back as I'm not running big power, and it means I can rotate the wheels Smile

Jesus. How does it drive with 9.5" in the front? I'd have thought it would corner like a tank

tbh it's not as bad as you'd think it'd be, obviously its not quite as nimble as before, but considering it's running 9.5j's all round it does pretty well IMO Smile
