9.5J et 40 will not fit on the rear without a roll. I run 9J et 42 and have had to roll the rears. Take a look at some rota wheels. there are some out there that will fit straight on for not a lot of money. Go Enkei if you want a more quality wheel but you'll pay for it.

What does gay alloy wheel look like?

Nick Graves

^18", off the steering centre line, ridiculous camber & obviously lowered beyond the camber arc of the control arms.

quickmoose

Thats mainly the set up and application....not the wheel.
I think perhaps you just don't like wheels too big for the car, and/or wheels that are put on a car thats' suspension has been adjusted beyond what a purist, or the factory would advise right?....
I'm not convinced your use of the word 'gay' is very well excecuted......unless big alloys look especially happy?

Nick Graves

Well, that's like saying assless chaps aren't gay - it's the bloke wearing them that looks gay, not the trousers themselves. Put them on Christina Aguilera and they don't.

Sophistry will only get one so far...

quickmoose

so its the car that looks happy or homosexual....
got it.

Nick Graves

...or the person wearing the car, by extension.

quickmoose

so it's not the thing...or even the thing attached to the thing, but the person who owns the thing attached to the thing.....
The only person I know with such equally specific and daft observations about such subjective things is actually gay.... and happy.

on that note I'm gonna desist from furthrer comment before everything and everyone associated to the owner of the thing attached to the thing gets the same branding....

Nick Graves

Well, you now have the rationale behind Chuck's comment, so it might seem an appropriate time.
