yer 9j do fit but if u want it all the way down u need to have arches pulled out and rolled on the front rears are also flared spaced and now cambered. Also had to go from 195/45 to 195/40/16 because the tyres where to wide on the arches alot of effort unless u wana spray the car and have more work done.

but when and if i get air it will sit low but when its parked the arch will sit between the tyre and the edge of the dish (WIN !)

Cheers for that mate.

So essentially, I can run 9j without having to flare my rear arches as I won't be using spacers. For the front, I'll have to have the arch rolled?

Are you running tyre stretch? Is it good/safe etc..?
