A 9" is 26mm wider, but as track is measured from the centre, only half if that is taken into account, so that's still 13mm, we don't have any room at all to move the aftermarket wheels closer to the strut so the most offset we could have on that 9" is +23mm, which pushes the outer lip 26mm further out and makes our track illegal.I hope that makes sense, I'm typing one handed whilst trying to feed my 3mo son Are you actually retarded?

Spyathe Donating Members 872 Member For: 11y 1m 22d Gender: Male Posted 20/04/14 12:48 AM Share Posted 20/04/14 12:48 AM I got defected for track a few years ago and he didn't even get the tape measure out, he just "suspected" that it was too far (it was around 25mm each side haha)It's bullsh*t that they can defect by suspicion alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just throwing unsubstantiated insults?I have to humbly apologise for the call, I misread your post.You can fit a 9" front legally though. RIP85 has 9.5' +20 on the front, that means a 9" +26 would fit as would a +25 and +24, all 3 being legalmy front has 36mm more track than factory so I'm screwed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used those wheels as a reference to say that if that size fits, then a rim that is 12.7mm narrower could fit with 6mm less offset - ie a 9" +26. this would have an increase in track of 20mm (10mm per side) which is legalBut it doesn't matter what the out side doesn't long as it doesn't hit anything or stick out, all that matters is where the middle of the rim is compared to where it startedthank you, I thought we established this many posts ago but it needed to be said again Edited 20/04/14 01:19 AM by sexual harrassment panda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
