The site says those are 9" wide. The widest wheel I have ever heard of was 10" on a widebody.

i run 8.5" with no problems im sure youll be fine bc there is deff more room left although i really cant comment on a lowered car. so u might have problems with that. you could just roll ur fenders which imo look sweet

The guy has spelling mistakes everywhere too.

i know, i picked up on all of that a long time ago. i just want to know about the rims. getting the fenders rolled sounds like it will be expensive. i dont know if i want to do that.
