    hi all,
    just wondering how much modification would be needed to fit 14x9's onto a sprinter with stock guards? And what needs to be done?

    whats the offset of the wheels, that will give an idea of how much you will need to flare your guards.

    Where on earth can you get 14x9's? I'd be happy with 14x8's but I can't find anyone other than the Japanese brands that do them?

    Theres your answer. Although I think Panasport will do 14x9s.
    I saw some 14x8 and 14x9 RS-Watanabes for sale in Australia a while ago, should have bought them...Only $1300 too- not like your typical bullshit toyota forum wheel prices "yeah 15x7 +25 SSR mesh, won't take less than $800" yeah right...

    I agree with Cass
    Course out: Get some 14 x 7's or 14 x 8's and get them professionally widened!!

    They are centrelines the brake cookers.

    I think they might have been widened to 9's wont know offset and stuff til monday. was just toying with the idea of how good they would look, but i havent had too much experience with what sizes u can get away with on sprinters.

    i thought they might be a bit too big but was hopin
