Pizza pie, there are more than 1, more than 5, more than 10 probably more than 20 cars on this forum that have or are running that set up. You can easily look for pictures.

And I hope you aren't pepperoni. I ****ing hate pepperoni.

but no, it won't look retarded as long as you run appropriate tire sizes and are LOWERED.

I would say go for it plus you get the benefit of being able to rotate your tires

thats a good point. Thank you! I was mainly worried about rubbing with that offset and that width in the front, but I do see a lot of people running with 9.5 in the front with Volks.

9.5 is wheel width, not tire width. Just because your wheels are the same width doesn't mean the tires will be the same width or aspect ratio.

OP , look into the 10.5 wheels for the rear , they are made in SBC andf will look great combined with 9.5 fronts.

did you call Tire rack?

edit: I just did and they said they should have them by the end of this month. So the 10.5 might still be an option.

Also: Gruppe-S usually has a ton if you haven't called them.

Really? They told me yesterday that they wouldnt have any until the end of july. Those sons a biatches!

Anywho I bought the 9.5s all around. I cancelled my Axis speeds for these so I hope theyll be worth. Theyre pretty light too.

yes it would fit on your car just fine. be sure to have some negative camber and or be sure to roll your fenders.

axis rims blow. you made a good decision.

from what it looks like on my friend's car, the 9.5 face on these +15s looks basically the same as the 10.5... not much (if any) more lip or concavity.


also: guys sometimes run staggered setups on square rim fitments to make the rear look wider. or you can pop some spacers on the rear, a 10mm should do it. if you dont stagger tire size try to run a 265 all around.

that would be a sweet setup. I think the Rota wheel guy (wheeldude?) has run that setup if you search his posts.

the 275 on a 9.5 will be square if not a little bubbled [depending on the tire brand] filling out the wheel well more. post up pics when you get them.

here is my buddy's car running the 9.5/10.5 +15 setup (with 255/275 tires):


and here is my other friend with the same rims as the other one but with a 245 front tire (lowered more):





same brand of tires (Sumitomo HTR ZIII)
