Any ideas guys? Have seena set of wheels I like but they're 9" wide on the rear.

8.5's were ok but I'm usure about these.

cheers in advance for any pointers.

They might be the wrong offset? You'd need to check.
As long as the extra width goes in to the body and not out you'll be fine.

We fitted 11" on the rear of mine and width wise it was ok just the fact that they were 19" meant we had to cut back the boot space!

Blimey 19" x 11"! Ouch

Shouldn't have any problems with little 18 x 9's then!

Right, had a look and a measure up and it appears that they will, just.

The 17's I have currently seem to be running 50mm odd offset whereas the new wheels would be similar to the Tuscan fronts 35mm instead of 38mm.

There is a fair amount of space in the arches, trouble area looks to be the outer rears and the usual issues with the low offset and the steering clearance.
