What is 8jj and 9jj? Is the the width?

Arent fitting how? Cant begin to help if we dont know the direction to take.

My recommendation return them and get a smaller width or different offset.

8inch front width . and 9inch back width..... the back ones are hitting the exhaust , the rim is not fitting in its place , dont know the offset

I think 9 inch rims in the rear is a bit excessive. I get having more grip patch on the road, but 8 is plenty wide enough. If 9 inch rims are not fitting, your offset and overall rim width are to blame. Work around from here I would think is either do 8 inch rims all around, or try your luck with some spacers :what:

Yeah, since it's hitting the exhaust, either you have a giant exhaust or those wheels have a crazy offset.

Look into Ichiba spacers, I needed them to fit my AP1 wheels. I have 25mm in the rear and fitment is great. Not saying it's the same for your car, I'd do some research, but I think with some spacers you can get them to fit.

So random discovery.

I thought this "jj" thing was dumb until I opened my LS Meshies from shipment and inspecting the condition, found they are measured as "15x6JJ 45"

Whodda thunk :what:

Carry on :cool:

Could be an angled wack job exhaust. Anyway, it's not new news that 9" don't fit just by putting them on. Research would have told you that. There isn't enough natural room between the suspension and wheel or in case of really low offset, room to fit in the wheel well without hitting the fender. That goes for front and rear. A 9" wide needs to pushed away from the body which in turn means fender work and/or tons of negative camber.

If it is, then the car needs to be put out of it's misery...

WAIT maybe he is using the exhaust heat to keep the tires that aren't connected to the engine sticky!
This is from Pakistan. They are way behind the times and are into the ricer s**t that was mainstream way back in the late 90's. Who knows what monstrosity is there for the exhaust, it probably has side exits or something goofy.
