New wheels 16 or 17? . .you could probs do it. . .but like I say lots of poke and lots of stretch. . The amount that will get you a tug by the law. . .

On that photo its sat on the arches. . But it wouldnt air all the way down. . .

Will be 16" and yeah i have rolled front and rear arches, and yeah police are little anal around here! (I need air now!)

Surely an ET20 is better than ET5?

Et20 is better yeah . . But et20 on a 9j. . . .mine was et5 on 8.5j . . .hang on ill work out the difference in poke ;)

9j et20 would have 9mm less poke than in that photo . . . But 21mm more "inset" . . .

Your arches will end up buggered again if you try do that static man.haha

Do you think this will work static if I change from 205 40 to 195 40 ?

Dial in some camber and leave the 205 on. . .and youll be able to go a little lower without smashing your arches to bits :)

Stretching the arches slightly, more stretch and custom bump stops is my plan to get as near as possible lol.

Nick i really wouldnt go 195/40 on 9s

Really ? :( I keep getting told this :( .

But I don't want to camber or role my arches . Camber I am just thinking about tyres

and arch rolling am Scared of recking the paint or recking the line of my arch .

Prefer to go through tyres abit quicker than having tyres pop off when driving. I have 1.5 shims and the wear is not to bad, just remember to get them swapped over when they start wearing to get the most out of the tyres. Also it looks good with some camber and poke.
