My guess is that a 9.5 width with et35 will be my best bet if I want to have a choice of wheels to choose from. This would leave the wheel gap to fender at about the same as stock both front and rear. .5 wider in front means 6mm wider on each side of the wheel. Then tuck the wheel in from 29 to 35 offset and I'm back where I started on the fender side. Unfortunately though that means the side of the wheel closest to the strut is reduced by 12mm. I'm inclined to crawl under the car at the upcoming Chicago show to see if this will fly. I looked at the Brussels pics and you can't really tell if there is enough space. Anyone with some pics?
u will probably be able to run 9.5" wheels ET 22 (265 tires) and have no rubbing issues.
