I wear 225/45/16 on my 9J rears, v.slight stretch but not off the rim- you'll need arch work if you wish to take people in the rear...

cheers Suchy, not really after a stretch as i dont have one on the front so want to keep the rears consistent.suchy wrote:I wear 225/45/16 on my 9J rears, v.slight stretch but not off the rim- you'll need arch work if you wish to take people in the rear...

Doubt it will be ET25 on the rears Dom, might be more like ET15.dom-1984-320i wrote:More than likely to be Offset of 25 Lee, and no i wont be taking anybody in the rear!leeparkes wrote:To the OP what offset will the 9j wheels be?

I don't run a stretch really, it's just a v.slight pull in to get them under the arches!!dom-1984-320i wrote:cheers Suchy, not really after a stretch as i dont have one on the front so want to keep the rears consistent.suchy wrote:I wear 225/45/16 on my 9J rears, v.slight stretch but not off the rim- you'll need arch work if you wish to take people in the rear...

Different tyres will sit slightly differently I've found! The Bridgestones I had on previously pulled in a bit more than these things but lasted half the time!!

Other option is 225/40 if you find a tyre you are happy to run..
