I have that set up on mine, for the front you will need at least 5mm spacer to keep it away from your brake calliper. And if you want to go low then it would be best to roll your arches as I haven't done mine and it done some damage to the arch When i lowered it, its on coilovers so had to raise it back up a few mm. I'll be selling my borbet a with 4 almost new toyo tyres in a month or two's time

Depends what offset they are. I imagine with a 40-50mm drop you'd definately need the rears rolled. However, I have no experience with nines on the front, so I can't help there.

I've got 9js all around and you'll definitely need the arches rolling if you plan on going very low.
