Dude go 8.5". You will need so much guard work to fit the 9.5's and when you finally get coilovers you wont be able to lower it very far before its rubbing in every corner when you track the car. Dont go against the grain just for the sake of being different. It will cause you headaches.

That's not the first time someone has told you that it will require a lot of work. People have also specifically told you camber bolts won't be enough

Found facts? Come on bro stop kidding yourself

More to the point, if you want dish don't give up on the idea. Just find another way to do it. With Karlton flares you could fit 10.5. It's silly still but it would work

Tino had 18x9 +20 before the wide-bespoke kit and had to roll guards and use adjustable camber bolts.

Anymore than that and you'll need a bit of work...

^This is fact^

Thanks Jdm_Style and T-Rex for providing useful info.

I'm fully aware that 8.5 will be a much easier fit and is most likely the easier way to go ... 9.5 sounds like there will be a few issues, but I will still test fit a 9.5 +30 wheel to see what kind of work is required, will judge then, doesn't hurt to have a look before buying. Cheers guys
