would 16x8.5 be a PITA to run? i know some people have run 16x9 but i dont want it to be a problem at all i was thinking of going 8 in the front and 8.5 in the back but i dont want it to be a problem because i havent done any real fender work and it really wont be easy for me to get these rims again. its hard enough this time around. i have the weitec 60/40 kit so that gives you an idea on the drop.
or should i just stop bein a pansy and go with the 9??? pics are welcome too if you have these sizes so i can see where they end up at the fenders. thanks all

well it all depends on the offset, if its a low offset, its going to poke out alot, it all depends on the offset, ive seen one person run 16x9's no problem, yet ive seen them poke like an inch outside the fender.....so it all depends on the offset, i say if its less that 29-15, its going to be close but if its 30-35 youll be fine

here is my advice to you.
you want to run these with rolled fenders, low the car nice and be able to drive still? but look hardcore?
do 16x8 et30 and 16x9 et20. run 205/40 front tires and 215/40 rear
