Interested if you can get me shipping to Las Vegas, USA.

looking at the 9" fronts.
I'm very sorry but due to the agreement Rarerims have as a European supplier they're not allowed to ship to the U.S.

Will there be any issues with front wheels scrubbing badly with 9" fronts? My standard 3R wheels & speedlines scrub a bit when near full lock?

My 3R has nine inch speedlines on the front without a spacer and it doesn't catch on full lock at the moment.
Do you know what it's catching on? My car did have the tyre very close to the heater box ducts until I secured them a little better

That's interesting to hear. Are they hubcentric spacers?

They rub on the inner wheel arch cover. Can see big lines where they've rubbed over the years.

All the wheels I have had rubbed here... that includes both types of Stock wheel, the speed lines (which have 8.5 fronts same as stock) and the comps which have 9inch front.

its worse if you fit a wider 235 tyre which is what i did originally when i fitted the 9inch comps.... never been an issue though in all the miles I have done in my car.

I know, sorry about that. If it was a small item I could have shipped it myself but what with the size and delicate nature of them I wouldn't know where to start.

Hi all

Can you stretch a 225 onto a 9 inch rim and a 265 onto a 10 inch rim ok ?

Also , i seem to remember the 10 inch compomotive rears used to stick out almost proud of the rear bodywork , am i right to assume these will too ?

I run 225 and 265 on my comps... I've also ran 235 and 295 on the same wheels.

The comps have a few different offset to standard wheels hence they fit the arches differently... some match standard, others don't.
For example my comps have an offset on the rear that pushes the wheels our 7mm over standard wheels (still 10inch though), and the front are 5mm the other way. No idea why but it seemed they just couldn't get the offsets right for our cars.

These rota grid will be like the speed lines and have the same offset as stock wheels.
