think youd be pushing it, plus ive only ever seen a couple of 9ns that looked right with 18s and they had some serious arch work and a full kit on, one was the guy with the r32 rims, and the other might be the dahlback one :lol:
you could make it work though with some effort i reckon :wink:

I think 88rsr just means 18's in general, not how wide they are :roll:

maybe just me... i just sorta have an ideal maximum wheel size on cars (strange i know) but i think 17s are about perfect for the 9n (as long as its dropped of course) unless going for some sort of wide arch kit etc, i had a look at the guys in the 9n3 section running those audi rims and it looks alright, i just wouldnt do it personally, and ch's are one of my favourite rims ever so like i say if you think you can make it work you could change my mind about the matter :wink:

There are plenty 9ns running 9s on the back now. Just run a skinny tyre and if in doubt camber the back slightly.

18s will look massive especially when they are poking slightly. you could maybe pull it off better if they were tucked. I ran 8J wheels et 35 all round on my 9n and the rim of the wheel was flush with the arches.
