yea you could run 9's all around, but why would you want to?

first off, even porsche runs either 7's with 8 1/2's in the rear
or 8 1/2's with 10's in the rear. They dont run any cars with
one width all around, except maybe really early 60's 911's.

second of all, 9's in the front are going to make it very hard
to steer without power steering and also make the car very
dangerous when it rains. VWs are extremely light in the front
and with all that extra width, it will make it easier to leave the
ground and start to take flight.

lastly, you will have to seriously tub the front and rear of the car
and make custom inner fender wells for the wider wheels. Plus
you will have to narrow the front and rear suspension alot. Not
to mention, narrow the gas tank or have a custom one made.
