It'll depend on his offset, suspension and tyre choice, but it's more than likely he will.

Yes but I'm not too sure by how much? Will these wheels look bad if I don't fit tuner wheel nuts?

Cheers Mags, after seeing all the problems people were getting with rubbing using 10" and 9.5" wide rims with wide bodykits the 9" wide was just a no brainer. Thanks for the advice on which set to go for

They are stretched until I get my ABW arches fitted then its wider rubber. The tyre place that fitted my old tyres reckons I need 255 ones fitted.

I wont be fitting them till after Sunday as Im going to Crail on the Banzai day 1/4 mile event so Im going to leave those 17" green things you can see on the back of the car as the semi slicks they have will grip better than my Goodyears.
