9 Inch Rim Issues

[1coolbanana Avid PP Poster! Find all posts View Profile Close 1coolbanana]

Im looking at a nice set of wheels to replace the stock 17 x 7.5 wheels but they only come in 9" width.
I was planning on refitting my existing BFG AT 275/65 x17 onto the new 9" rims.

Im not interested in the legalities, but whether or not it may cause issues like, scrubbing issues or rubbing on control arms etc.

Anybody got 9 inch rims on their 120?

Cheers

If the offset is the same or less, I don't see any issues. The 275mm wide tyre itself is 10.8". If it isn't touching anything now, the 9" rim shouldn't touch anything.

Ta mate.
I thought i read something about the lack of clearance between tyre/rims and the control arm, cant find it though.
May have to get them to fit one front on and have a look.
Hoping someone has fitted some without issue.

Ive scrapped the idea of those 9 inch rims atm as they had the wrong offset and would have also stuck out and extra 40mm.
Would have looked cool but a bit too illegal with the oversize rim AND sticking out past the guards .
