I looked into this earlier in the year and the closest I came were a few guys on NASIOC running 9's and that still requires some work, arch roll and quite a pull in most cases, some also pull the lip so it physically protrudes too!
The pulling is more successful on 4 door cars, type r's and the likes can get issues; dents can appear in the rear qtr's if pulled tooooo much, 4 door cars obviously have more strength in that area. It was because of this I decided against it, I also didn’t want to risk any cracked paint.
You need to run heavy camber also; not so great on UK roads and probably a tyre stretch too to aid in clearance – Can look funny if you don’t do the above, like incorrect wheel fitment, which it is I guess!
The pictures below are of cars running on 9's
This car is running 9J with an ET37
These are only 8.5J, but shows the lip pull quite well
Hope that helps
