Forces give good clearence but its best to run a decent negative camber to clear the archs for fast road or track driving, i would say around 2-2.5., this assumes you have the car droped and run coilovers.

i know the geo setup would normally be 1.2 neg camber

We can also do good deals on Rota wheels, and also offer advice on exact fitments and specs that work.

I'm suprised they miss, but given that you've stretched such a narrow tyre, it's not suprising that the rims will easily get scuffed/knocked.
Mine did.

Very nice im going for a set of these in a few weeks,i thought 225,s would be too small/streched on a 9" wide rim ?,i was gonna go for 235 or 245,s.
Mike81 are you still using front arch liners ?.
un-ink best price please.

The 9in width is not really the problem its the offset. A guy on our local forum is running Advans with a 255 tyre. It took hours to set up the geo to stop the scuffing etc. I cant remember what the offset is. Had mine on for 12months now but i fancy a change. Seems they are becoming a popular rim.
I had to stretch the tyre slightly and run the neg camber to get them under the arches on the front.
No mods done to the front arches but the rears are rolled in flat, 235 on a ET38 rim should not be a problem
