allen405 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I believe you're gonna run into turning issues doing that. Maybe someone with more experience could chime in. Heck, slap one on and find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) They fit, but on stock suspension, they'll stick out, and if your lowered, you'll rub tire on the front of the inner fender structure. I have them on the front of my car, but my fitment is a bit extreme, a 15mm spacer to get the clearance I need for my brake setup, but I have camber plates that are nearly maxed out for negative camber (about -4°) and a 225/45r16 tire. To match on the rear, I run a 225/50r16 on a 9 with a 33mm spacer, and it rubs on the inner fender some. All my fender lips are just folded over, no pulling.

tankbob Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I bought an extra set of 9s because I couldnt pass up the price and I tried them up front with stock suspension. Fenders are not rolled and on hard bumps it would rub, my biggest issue was how heavy the steering became even with a 225/45. My front suspension has all been rebuilt but my steering coupler is kinda shot, with my 7s up front I get some wobble in the steering wheel but on 9s it was bad plus they liked to pull on uneven road. Function always comes first for me so now Ive got a spare set of rears now.Youd be better off with rear 8s upfront, pretty sure those look deeper too.

tankbob Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Extra set of 9's... mmmmmm wanna sell em???I'm gonna try them out again once I get my D2s in, then if they still suck Ill wait for bc99 to make those couplers or learn to drift with them since both have some bad curbed spots where aluminum is missing. They were in pretty bad condition when I bought them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
