I reckon those will cause problems! some people have fitted 9 inch wheels but ET15 is pretty evil.
I suppose if you squeezed 205 tyres on them then they may be ok (the centreline is about an inch further out than standard) - but it'd be a squeeze!

Shouldn't be a problem either. I've tried a set on the same offset
(sounds like these are Keskin's by the offset
)
the rear wheels do stickout from the arch so you'd need stretched tyres to keep it legal and have it lowered more 'nose down' like mine - back sits a little higher than front.
Still fine completely low but found they catched once or twice if you give it some stick!

now thats what i wanted to hear again
someone with a 9n thats tried wheels of that offset
good news. and not to worry, they arn't keskins.
i've been hunting high and low for this rim and finally found a place that supplies them from germany
so i should be buying them in the next few weeks
what tyres you think should be going on a 9j and a 7.5j?
i was thinking a 215 and a 195
i dont want a big stretch as i feel that may be dangerous, but would like to keep it looking good
