Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
not so much the spacers, you will more than likely need to run stretched tyres on them to actually get them to sit under the rear arches, ok to look at, but not exactly practical.
Would it not be easier to try them on if there your mates?? I think the fronts might be too wide, don't know about the back.....
Theres a lad on here runs nines, (Seat Toby) and Ive seen a silver one up at the Coventry meet running nines at the rears , but I think he's running standards at the fronts, so it can be done.
mine are 7's (when I ever get round to putting them on)

Mate i tried my 9j keskins on the front and rear, the rears are fine and no spacers are needed but id be tempted to fun a 10mm spacer for some extra poke.
With my 9's being ET30 if i had them on the front id need a 5mm spacer due to them rubbing the callipers.
Here's a pic of the 9's on without spacers....
I dont think they look right 9's all round, my 7.5j's look miles better on the front

borbet A's in 9x16 are et15 if 4x100 they didn't come with a different offset!
if it were me on 9's all round on a mk3 i would run 10mm spacers out rear with a couple of degrees camber on the rear and probably 195/45's all round as it'l give ample stretch to clear the arches with being too low a profile as if you go for 40 profiles on a 16" wheels on the mk3's you'll have a good job trying to get rid of the arche clearance yet keeping it driveable!
the trouble with the car isn't fitting a 9 in the arch its getting it low enough on 16's with no arch clearance!
