They will fit if you are careful with how big an adaptor you go with. Is your stud pattern 5x100 or 4x100?

[davies1644]

I am 4x100 so will need adaptors what size adaptors should I get?

Running 8J all round, Arches fully rolled.
20mm Spacer at the Front
25mm spacer at the Rear

You can make judgments from my guideline
Depends how you want the car to sit though, Tucked or Poke?

Et55 will give you plenty of room to play with

[davies1644]

Want it tucked so it can go really low

Want it tucked so it can go really low

You will stuggle with 17"s to go really low and also with that width too far in could hit the shock.

What Wayne said, 17's are too large to go LOW on, you can go down on the rim but not the floor
15's and you'll touch the floor 

Only problem with 9's is that they will be extremely tight to tuck, aswell as the 8.5's at the front! (On full lock)
Could just go down on some seriously low profile tyres though and have some poke?

jonny how did you fit your plastic arches with your arches rolled?
I want some poke lol

[_redders_]

if the fronts are et 55, you'll want some 25 mm adaptors up front, take it down to et 30, and run a 195/40/17 tyre, fronts will be perfect and you'll be able to tuck a little too without rubbing or fouling the shock... if the 9's are also et 55 id go for 20mm adaptors in the rear giving you et35, i run et 35 on a 9.5 and they poke by about 10mm but i still have about an inch between the wheel and the shock, so yours will sit fine, go for a 205/40/17, or a 215/35/17 tyre and you'll have a pretty nice set up mate... trust me, im a doctor.........

im not really, but ive had enough wheels!
