If your current set up is 10" et 65 rears, then the 9.5 et 55 will give you 16mm MORE clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 4mm. Should be no problem. BTW, give me a shout if you're thinking of dumping the twists, Ben.

If I get the bbs wheels you will have first refusal on my twists! That way I can offset some of the costs since I have gone off the deep end with my car now! New suspension on the way!
Just picked up some Hoosiers as well and some other goodies.
