Seriously bud, I like you I dont want you to be dead so run slightly skinnier wheels that fit properly with the proper tyres on and enjoy the car.

Imo of course

Abd if anyone says that "they do it in the states" I will stab them in the shitter next time I see them, yhey have nice smooth roads and better weather

listen to him ^^^^ I had stretched tyres on mine looked cool but the handling on the limit was well...... awful stretched tyres and handling do not go together

I can actually see where your coming from and decided 9" are too big. I just want to get some sort of nice wheels that fit and look flush/fill the arches.

What about 8" wide 225 or 215

that would work pal, sorry to be negative, but i could understand having 9" wheels if you were running wide tyres.

It's not about the width, it's about the offset of the wheels.

Lower offsets stick out more
you can get some 8J's with lower offset that will still fill the arches nice. If not just run some 10 or 20mm spacers.

Thanks mate, so the lower the offset the more the wheel sticks out. I'm still working out what's the best fitment on 17" I'm thinking 17x8 et25 but the tyres I'm not sure on size maybe 215 or 225

215/45/17 on the 8" works well.
