Chaps,

Trying to work out how far I will need my arches pulling (if at all) before I send my car off to the prep shop (standard E30 coupe, not M3). Ideally, I would like the ability to fit 16x9J on the back and 16x8J on the front, should I feel it's required. I'll also be doing the full 5-stud conversion, so there will be an extra 20mm track each side (is that right??). Basically...

1) Given the right offset, will 9J rims fit under the rear arches, 8J under the front, without fouling either the inner or outer arch or strut, without any arch modification?
2) If not, how far should they need pulling?
3) Has anyone done this before? if so, what is your experience?

Thanks chaps.
