  • 17x9, not wide at all :[

    so im borrowed these RCs from a friend.
    definitely a good time to check out how wide i want to go...

    well, i found out that these 9", aren't wide enough. especially the rear. 10.5" should do..


    well here are a few pictures. i'll get some more tomorrow

                If you want to see what wider wheels would look like on your car you can try my wheels.

                  the width of the wheel is not too small...
                  you should just run smaller tires and then run spacers..

                    205's will look funny and thats the maximum tire size to run on 9 wide wheel to get good stretch out of it.

                      Personally I like it lots.

                      But, if you plan on going lower then a wider set is in need!

                        and perhaps 10.5" in the rear (totally got b!tched at on e46fanatics about this. hahaha)

                          Agreed, lower offset and wider.

                          Looks good though.
