Hey guys, just about to order some new wheels - 16" Dare RS with a 215/40 rear tyre and 9j wheel width (8j on front and 195/45 tyre). The guy reckons 9j should be fine on rear without spacers but want to make sure.

Anyone had any experiences?

Cheers,

Nick

I think you need ET15 for 9J and ET20 for 8J.
