As above really, i want to widen my rm's at the rear, the car is down around 80-90mm, would 8"s be ok?

Thanks,
Joe

I think iceypolo has got 8" wide BBS on the back IIRC, with standard arches. Should be OK but check the ET I guess?

If your 80-90mm down you aint got much space with 8's at the back to be honest!! Heres mine ive had the rear arch pulled out alot and its got loads of space around it now!! bout 70-75mm down!!

I'm running 8" at the rear. However I want to go lower and will have to get the arches rolled.

yeah i'm running 8" on rears and about 50-60mm down max. i can have one person in the back and get a bit of scrubbing... i've been quoted approx £60 per arch for rolling but think moynas actually had his pulled out?
