LOGIE Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Can anyone help me? my N/A came with stock 16's 8JJ front and rear but I have recently got a set of 9JJ's for the rear before i fit them do i need to remove the spacer or fit a smaller one? I put the 9 inch alloy on to see how it looked, and its obvious that the wheel will rub the arch if i hit a bump or pothole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjp Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 8 front and 9 rear is the stock size so you should not use any spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 Anyone else got pics of stock alloys with 9JJ at the rear on their car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 here is how its sitting now the offset looks wrong to me. Those wheels look too "proud" to me. I've got the stock 8JJ and 9JJ wheels on mine, and the wheels sit within the arches more. I'll try and get photos soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
