    No it isn't. That was just a trail fit to see how 9" runs. Going for 7.5" instead.

    I doubt 7.5 inches are legal either.

    Whats the widest rim listed on the car's tyre placard? I think the largest rim on an up is 16x6. Therefore you would most likely be limited to a 7 inch width rim.

    Yeah 7.5" aren't legal either but to get any decent rim I gotta go wide. Thet are passing MOT in the UK with 7.5 and 8s so there shouldn't be a problem.
