I've done the math. 9" rears with ET43 would set the wheel towards the suspension 24mm which is pretty much a whole inch...I think it would rub the inside! It pushes the wheels out only 14mm which is a little more than 1/2 an inch from stock. Just from looking at pics of stock wheels and how they are so recessed, I know you could easily push the wheel edge out an additional 38mm (1 1/2"). That would be an ET20 with a 9" wheel and it keeps the back clearance the same so you don't risk rubbing the suspension. Wow! I'm becoming kind of a mad scientist with all of this stuff, but it's addictive....ya know.
