yes, if they were made in the sizes that fit 9th gens. 5x100 bolt pattern is what I'd look for first, then decide what size and width you want. as far as width, an 8inch wheel would need close to a +35 offset to fit w/o rubbing; a 9inch should be close to +25, etc. If you find some, post up the specs so we can let you know if you'll have rubbing issues or anything.

the widest you can go? That's kinda a loaded question. It's really more up to the size of your bank account, lol, and whether you're lowered at all or not, and what the offset (ET) of the particular wheel is. you could do a 10" wide wheel but the offset would have to be near +10 and they would stick out past the fenders a lot. and it depends on you bank account cuz they would cost more and the tires for it would cost more and you would prolly want fender flares or something lol.

the wheel specs you listed should fit but the +33 offset will push the outer edge of the rim out about another cm over stock (a stock TC wheel which are what a lot of people got and is what I'm comparing to). 7.5 is, in my opinion, kinda a small wheel as far as aftermarket wheels go, i mean, the stock scion TC wheels (what I got now) are 7.5" wide. now don't get me wrong, that width is much better than stock, but if you're getting aftermarket wheels I'd go with something a bit wider, maybe 8" or 8.5" if you can find some.

Okay this is kinda way out there but if you could give me your thoughts on this

9,5x17 ET 13 in the rears
8,5x17 ET 13 up front.

I would need wheel adaptors from 5x120 to 5x100

My friends just sold his car and is gonna do me a good deal on these wheels i love them to bits.
But will this idea work??
Thanks for your time

hmm, imo if you can make the staggered setup work, then go for it, as the number are by themselves they should fit, the rears are my only concern given those numbers but you'd probably be fine since you'll have to use adapters which will effectively lower the offset considerably making the wheels stick out a lot, so fender rolling or flares might be necessary. and if you're not lowered then you might want to consider it because, at least in my opinion, being at stock ride height with wheels that wide and pushed out that far will look kinda goofy lol

Thanks for your reply

So numbers wise should fit? I do plan to lower her down the road.
When you say flares do you mean a wide body kit?

If I can get some adaptors I could get a test fit, and go from there.

Should I look for the thinnest possible adaptors for this insane idea to work?

Thanks for your help really appreciate it

Kind Regards
