Widebody alloys on narrowbody?

Is this possible, or would it look ridiculous?

This is mine with the 8 inch rims on the back, they rub like hell.

You will need the 8 inch fronts like Lunacy.

Here are the 8" front and 9" rear SHP's on my starion. The fit perfectly.

Also, I'm selling the custom front and rear springs along with the front struts (with near new Koni Yellow adjustable shocks).

9" fit on the back better then the 8" ones.... and the 8" rears fit on the front. I know cause I have tried them. But still yet to see this combination on a narrow or widebody! Not even mine cause it was at different times :D
Has anyone actually got a photo of 9" rims on the back and 8" rears on the front? Or even better want to swap a set for my sweet looking 17's? :D

Yeah going to keep it.... unless someone offers me what I want for it :D

Still would be full on keen for a set of 9's and rear 8's though, would look fully sweet on a starion. the front 7's and 8's are just to flat for my liking.

and dont forget the jap spec rear 8's are ZERO offset so would be perfect for a narrowbody rear...

Funny though cause I had the 9's on the back of my car and they were perfect with no clearence issues or anything, but Daniel has the rear 8's on the back of his car and they rub something chronic....
Are the 9's a different offset?

Mine on 8x16 widebody rears all round.

This is at Spa last month.

^^That was the idea. Not to be though.

Knew nothing of those rims when I got mine. Those are what I need or the 9's.

9's are 0 mm, 8 inch rears are usually -10, other than jap spec.
