Correct me if I’m wrong but a wheel that measures 9" i.e. like your 6.5 + 2.5 it is actually an 8j wheel?

For a 9j wheel the wheel measures 10" from edge to edge?

no because when you measure a wheel i.e. 6.5" that is not measuring the lip/edge of the wheel so the total width of the new barrel is 7"s but when you ask for them to be made up its printed as 6.5".

a 9j wheel is actaully 10 inches wide becauuse the lipsare 1/2 and inch, so the total is a 9j wheel

Thats the thing though my dish's are only 2", 8 " in total so if i was to do the same as you i'd have to basically buy two full wheels :sad:

So i think it's just gonna be dish's to take them to 8.5" making the ET 18!

yeh not really worth it then 8.5 i think that would be good, are you going to keep 185-45s on 8.5s or put a 195-45??

Currently running 185 nankang front 195 toyo back :lol:

When i go to 8.5" i'll keep the 195's but get nankang to keep a similar stretch front to back!

you will be running the same combination of tyres and sizes as me then il jus have a tiny lil more stretch, good old nankang gotta love them really
