    what size adapters are you currently running?

    if you are running 7.5’’s up front right now with an et20 (25mm adapter) the 8.5’’ et15 will certainly not fit. somewhat skeptical they would fit if you are running 7.5’’ et30 currently.

    Something that doesn't require a stupid amount of camber and stretch to fit.

    what size adapters are you running up front? and what is the difference with plus suspension? pushes the hub out like 5mm right?

    I dunno man. those 7.5’’s barely fit and you wanna run 8.5’’s with an offset not too far off?

    show me some pics of similar setups and I will fully agree with you.

    I don't see any reason they wouldn't fit. If he's adding one inch total to the wheel, and retaining the same offsets, that would be a difference of 12.7mm on each side of the wheel. If I'm reading this correctly, he has 15mm of space between the suspension and the hub, so they would fit on there just fine. Wouldn't have much room there, but they'll fit.

    Also, for inspiration: http://eurowerks.org/showthread.php?t=34369&page=1

    Those seem to fit just fine, and they're 8.5" in the front, with an offset just slightly higher than 15 most likely. That being said, a lower offset will just give it more room on the inside, though they may poke a tad bit more.

    Ok, I'm done.

    Haha I don't Even remember creating that thread!
    I know they will fit, but I am also getting new fenders and riding of the flares and skirts.
    So I would have to run camber in front.
    Or on vortex there is staggared type A's with tread for a good deal.
    Maybe ill just get both (:
