Default Wide rims?

Hi guys

Just wanted to know if anyone's gone beyond the border of 8" wide! Maybe 9? I know the guys on here like to keep it simple and sweet all the way round, but i'm after a set of 9's and 8's for show use only. If not, a nice set of OZ super's will do me!

Mine are 8x17 if that helps, view my scoob to check offset. They are just under the arch - but not by much.

Should of said so then dished rims are not a really scoob thing IMO more a celica/supra item.

sos dude! yeah a mate of mine has 10" wide on his skyline and i've come from a VW background where that look was the norm. I know its not really a scooby look, but i was just gauging interest on if it had been done before. I've seen some nice standard 18's (oz) off a 03 plate sti. will that fit my classic?

here's pic of my mag featured Seat Ibiza Cupra (due to be in stores Oct!). ...
