Anything over 8 inch wide and your going to be needing arch work and coilovers I would think.

I dont think my tyres helped either as they are a 45 profile and the sidewall is quite big, if you went slightly higher offset say ET45 and a 40 profile tyre you would probably just need to roll the arches

We are currently building a Classic race car that will be running 9.5's and this will give you an idea to the work involved for clearance mate.

Thanks mate, when i bought the wheels they came as a package with budget tyres which buffed slightly for some reason. i rolled the rear arches up a few mm,s but when i changed the tyres there was loads of clearance... the cheap tyres although the same size had wider side walls for some reason so in reality the arches didnt need rolled!
