Are the 9's not as deep as the 9's then?

Sorry quick fingers + iPhone = mistakes. I meant are the 9's not as 'deep dished' as the 8's then? Due to the difference in offset.

Dude with the right offset and tire size you can fit a 10 with front stock fenders

Ok, here are the official specs on these wheels:

16x7 +18
16x8 +18
16x8 -10
16x9 0

The 16x8 -10 and the 16x9 -0 were both designed to sit flush with the rear fender on the Starquest, so the distance from the hub to the lip is the same (from what I understand, I could be completely wrong, I'm very tired).

Just got these wheels today. 16x8 offset -10. The rears stick out a lil and the fronts hit the caliper. What size spacers will work without it rubbing the front fender?

And saavedro88 how did u get such a stance/camber in the rear?

Are you running 16x8 on the front as well? 10mm should clear it but I think you'll need some arch pulling.

16x8 -10 and you're rubbing on the caliper? I would have thought that would have been fine. I'm running a 2 inch spacer on my front wheels, cause I have the +18's up front, and the spacer puts them perfectly flush.

Lol. Nothing. Literally. When you lower an FC this much, that's what you get. I actually have too much camber honestly, I need to get adjustable camber links so I can try to get the wheels a little bit more flush with the fender...

^^ cool I put 8mm spacer on it but my studs are too short to put lug nuts on the wheels so I got to get hubcentric spacers. My 7 has kyb agx struts with tanabe springs and it gives it a nice stance. Thx for the input guys, hope to post pics soon
