Hi Guys,
Just wondering whether 18x9 wheels with a +30 offset will fit a MY08 GT spec b wagon, and what tyre size i would have to use?
I'd imagine i will have to roll the guards and add some negative camber to the setup.
Thanks

You'd probably have to roll, pull or even flare your guards and run quite a bit of camber if your car is low. What rims were you looking at? And what suspension are you running?

9 inch wide and only +30 offset? Gez, that's a lot of trouble in getting them to fit.

You're better off investing in wheels that are the proper width (7.5 - 8.5) and offset (+55 - +45).

looking at work xd9's, would need coilovers, major guard rolling, and decent neg camber for it to work.
pipe dream as might not be too practical, as on stock suspension
