you may have to roll arches to get the 9j to fit,thats if you want low.
If they are the same ones ive seen on ebay,then yes they are 5 stud,and they look :cool:

The guy has put them up as 5 stud, but I'm unsure with 16x9 on the front

4 stud pre 93 except the vr I think, but all 5 stud 93 onwards. Just message him and ask him to confirm what they are etc. Dunno if PCD is different and I think you will need spacers anyway.

Will be 5 stud and an et of 15, will require some arch work to get them under but look amazingly cool! May need some spacers to clear the calipers?

Cheers for that, I have to have a think or might stay with the idea of schmidt modern lines of 15x8 et10 may fit with no or less hassle  :smiley:

This may help answer any questions you have: http://www.rimstyle.com/info/alloys-explained.html

Basically it just means the size. 16x9J would be 16" high and 9" wide.
