i don't believe so, but can't speak with 100% confidence. the lower offset helps get it away from the spring plate, but i think it is going to push the lip out past the fender. especially with the added track width of the brakes.

No.

You will need at least 2 inch wider fenders, and mabye some cutting on the rear bump-stops.

9" wheels are a tight fit with 1-1/4" wider-than-stock CCC(fiberglass) fenders on an IRS car with the single springplates....it requires grinding the chassis bump-stop, and modifying the forwardmost springplate bolt.

As a rule I tell people 6" backspace max...and with the 1-1/4" wider-than-stock fenders, 4" frontspace.

cheers guys, not adding wider fenders so the search for a set of 7 inch rims begins

With stock fenders and IRS suspension I'd go with something like a 7" ET38-45
