I'm useless with wheel fitments I have been looking at a set of compomotive MO1580 or something close to tha design, need help on what fitment that would be okay to run on my ek9... They come ET25-32 ,95mm pcd - 120mm and size are 8x15 any chance these would fit and what et would be best? Lol sorry for sounded completely useless.
 
I've found the 'widest' I could get away with was a 7J rim, ET35 with a 195 section tyre with stock, natural camber. Your EK9 is pcd 114.3, 5 stud.

People do go wider but they've more than likely rolled the rear arch lip, added more rear camber or just deal with arch rubbing on a spirited drive.
 
I'm having a pair of 15x8 et35 made up for the front of mine Sam.
You'll need an arch pull and abit of camber if your anywhere near low though.

Do you mind using a spacer?
How much camber you got?
My wedsports 15x7 et31 should fit against standard arches with alittle camber I would have thought.

15x7 et35 is bang on the money IMO.

No camber adjustments, No arch rolling and no scene points.
 
Looks good enough to me!
I'm borderline scene now-a-days with the 8j 16s on the front lol
 
On the front of mines I'm running a 15x6.5 ET42 wheel with a 16mm spacer, so effective ET26. Rubs on the arch liners a tiny bit. Only using natural camber though.

The rears are just the 15x6.5 ET42 wheel without any spacers.
 
I wouldn't bother with 8j if your going to stay 195 width tyre.
Causes more problems than it's worth being that wide.
7j is perfect for a 195 IMO and that should open up more options for wheels aswell.
 
Thanks for the replys guys just can't get my head around the offset and how much a difference it can make like the wheels I have seen only go upto 12-25 Et so where abouts do I need the et to be as a lot of you are diffrent? As all te wheels I like are diff offset so how will I know they will fit etc...?
 
Use this calculator.

I'd start by putting kippers wheels in as they seem to sit pretty flush.
Then all the wheels your looking at you can add into the bottom of the calc.
This will then tell you how much more one wheel will poke out compared to kippers.
Because you've got camber arms you may get away with a lower offset, but it depends how much you've got..

Are you willing to pull the arch alittle if you have too?
 
Remember you can always add a spacer or roll/pull the arch/add camber to get the wheels under the arch. So as long as the offset is close you shouldn't have any issues.
Obvs going 8j et 0 or something your going to have to go full retard but I can't see why a 15x7 et 25 can't be made to fit.
Essentially what my weds are after the spacer is added...
 
Thanks for that Jess helped out a lot lol and cool calc, there's a 10mm more poke then kippers so don't know if they will fit tidy or not? My front camber is -2.00 deg, front toe -0.5mm rear camber -1.75 deg , rear toe +0.5mm
