thinking of fitting 16x9j on the rear (ET25) and using either 205/40/16 or 215/40/16 without needing major arch work is it possible ?

Im running 15x7 et 25, with 165 50 stretched tyres, destroyed the lip on one of the rears where its too low

So i would say to get it sitting low you will need to do arch work, cut the inner lip off of the arch and the trim is probably your best bet
