Default 9inch wide wheels

Does anyone run 9inch wide wheels on their new-age/hawk eye subaru?

Possible?

The wheel in question is 18x9 with an offset of ET45 (although ET35 is also available)

Also will be running with 225/40/18 tyres, so there will be a slight bit of stretch to assist fitment.

The car will also be lowered on Apex coilovers shortly

Thanks,

the better et to run would be 35

i have fitted many newages with 9" even 9.5"

you can run 225/235 40 18

you may need arch rolling or camber bolts depending how low you go

have a browze through my rota thread

I have 18x8.5 on apex coilovers and its a tight fit on my bugeye wagon without having the arches rolled. That will be my next job.
