yeah unfortunately its not legal for them to stick out of the arch over here in the uk so you got the option of going for more narrow wheels or pull those arches wwwiiidddeee

You should get away with a bit of the alloy sticking out on stretched tyres, stretched tyres on the 9n looks 8)

Yeh, its suites the 9n so well, hopefully i should get away with it then, as i really would like to have 9x16 at the rear.. Around a 30 offest should be ok, and not have it sticking out to much right? Thanks for you help on the subject
