Hi. Could someone advise me please??
I've the chance to have a set of kt1 klassik 16 x 9" with ET25 front and ET20 rear.
Can these fit my mk2 rocco??
I've already worked out the fronts will be about 25mm closer to the suspension shock.
16 x 9" all round!

Prob be able to, but i'd expect you'd need to do some arch modification.
9" wheels have a 225 or 235 tyre - thats alot of rubber to fit in a small space!

Think it's 235 or 245 actually, but there's always the sloped tyre wall option - stretch some 205/45 16s onto them. The outer edge would be lining up with the arches at the front so you'd have to have stiff suspension to stop them hitting and scrubbing all the time. Or like the man says, arch work. 9 inches is a lot at the front. Seen it done on the rear loads though.

They'd be a bit dearer than 205/45 16s with a very similar outcome. 40 profile are quite expensive. 45 are cheap as they're fairly common.

I run 205/40/16s on 9" borbet t's on the rear but not the fronts so it entirely possible. There's biblical stretch but the ride is smooth like a pvc'd Heather Graham. Either way, at either end you're going to need arch work if you lower it.
