9inch wide rim for R36?

[Benzene]

im searching with mixed reviews if a 9inch wide (+42) rim will fit on my R36 Wagon, some say yes and some say definitely not.

does anyone have any experience with this topic on their car?

Are you looking at the Bentley GT 9 spoke wheels

[Benzene]

Yep. Thinking about it.

[dannyjak]

Rears I think would be fine, would be close to the shocks at that offset but i think there is still room

Fronts and not so sure though

Yep. Thinking about it.

Any progress on your wheel choices, do the 9's manage to fit easily?
Am thinking of the 9" width also for 08 wagon..

Hey mate, ive got 9.5 rears and 8.5 fronts, 44 offset i think, when i get a chance tomorrow and double check! 245/35 tyres
Cars lowered on h&r springs
Scrubs on the rear with a few passengers or big bumps, its not to bad though... ive only had them on a week and i generally drive like a nanna so i don't know how they go when you give it a bit....i cant upload pics for some reason sorry... (they're on a 36 wagon)

Thanks mate. I'm running same springs too. After more research it seems others have fitted the exact same wheels with no real issues so I'm confident they will be ok. I'm going to run a 235/35 tyre.

[DRR0R36]

Yeah you should be fine, it'll probably scrub on the occasion... i wouldn't worry though haha

Nice work mate, look forward to you confirming the offsets and tyres etc.. Assuming there on 19's?
Do you know any limitations on tyres and offsets for 20's on the wagon? If it's pushing too far might have to stick to 19's...

I'll let you know as soon as I fit them. In my searching I saw some guy running 20's with 245 tyres so it's possible.

[DRR0R36]

Yeah sorry they're 19's and offset is 43! and yep 245 35 tyres.
20's would be a tight fit but it has been done...
I remember seeing a white one carsales a few weeks ago with Simmons 20" it may still be for sale

Yes!! Mate they're super neat & the springs sit it just right.
You must be happy with those?
Looking forward to seeing Benzene's Bentleys

Yeah pretty happy with them, deffinatley something different on an r36, there off an older s600 merc i believe... 19s are a perfect size for the arc of the guards and the offset is still practical IMO.

Im keen to see these bentley wheels too! Seen some on a Golf R but they stuck out an Inch! No idea how it drove haha
