I wouldn't mind a set like that for the VR! If only they came in 16"...

If the Diablos are 7" wide, yep

Though it doesn't usually infer less brake clearance. That really depends on the design of the wheel, and how much the face design accommodates the calipers.

Yeah brake clearance is more of a depth of spoke issue as you say, I was more worried about them hitting suspension etc.

You should have hardly any problems with caliper clearance compared to what i will have lol. I wouldnt worry about hitting the suspension unless uve got coils and they are wound down alot

You have to be careful ask Tim but with some coilovers you need spacers so they don't hit the tyre

A stretched tyre often helps here, that's why we see those Vortex guys running 9" up front without psycho poke! But then you ask about the tyre size and they something ridiculous like 195/40 or 205/40

205 on 9"? Isn't that illegal and dangerous? i was trying to find some 7.5 inch but not really anything around that i like in that size/price range. No coilovers on mine either, eibach springs/bilstien struts lowered about 50mm maybe a bit more. Probably going to check out those Konigs on Saturday, will keep you posted.
