Well maybe look at putting the wheels on ebay and pistonheads???? Im pritty sure yours should sell ok considering they are coming with tyres???
Can't wait to see what the D90's will look like on your car, photoshop them onto it??? :grin:

that is the great thing about this site, there are many people on here you know how to use photoshop, so all you need to do is post a pic of the car and a pic of the wheels and ask someone to do it, there is a section on the general part that people post this side of thing and let the geeks do there magic  :grin: :grin:

If you really need them selling quickly then wack them on ebay and set a reserve on them?

You need to ask the seller what the offset is. As they are 9's i'd suspect they are off a wide bodied porsche in which case they'll be around et25. Subtract the thickness of the spacers and you'll be et10 at best. With a 9 inch wheel you'll need some hefty arch mods.

If its any help i was running 9 x 17's on my golf. Et 53 with 20mm adapters. The inner edge of the wheel was catching on the strut so needed 3mm spacers.

Rolling my arches wouldn't have been close to enough work.

Bashickly if they are high offset (around 50ish) you should be fine but may need to space them out slightly. If they are shallow offset you're screwed.

The offset should be cast into the wheel near the valve.

The offset on my 8's is 52.3 i believe, i think the wider the wheel the higher the offset? in the Old skool porsche category mate!
I know that Silver Roses, which are virtually D90's are ET60 in 9J ;)

I'm wondering what price those D90's went for...?

Yes i would be intrested to see what they went for, like you said there are other set out there. Are you after really wide wheels or was it you just found them and though fu*k yeah they will do  :grin:
