    I have an option to change my 16x8 et30 all around to some nice bbs rs front 16x8 et20 and rear 16x9 et15.

    My question is. How much more work will i need to get them on? I have cut my guards and rolled them as well. Front have g60 flares and back ones are on standard gti flares.

    Im running on coils as well

    Can you post a photo of your current setup? Just to see how flush it is sat at the minute.

    The lower et means they'll sit flusher with the arch, then you've obviously got the wider rears, which could be an issue!

    As I said, you should post an image :thumbup:

    Yeah looking at it, it'll be super close but should just about fit :thumbup: Biggest issues will be the rears, both will be ok with some stretch

    This is how new wheels sit when droped to the ground (no tyres)

    And this is raised up.

    What do you guys think? Should i do 60 flares at the back or this should be fine?

    And for the front i was planing on using 205 40 r16 just not sure which tyre is the best to strach. For back ones i got 215 40 16 toyo t1r

    Should sit mint, get some stretch on them though. I'm not sure what's best for the wheels tbh, but looks like it will sit mint

    I can comfortably run 16x9 at the front as well with g60 flares. Front bar was just attached for the pic.
