Did you really just ask if someone has some of the brand spanking new 15x9s for sale in used form? Not sure what kind of idiot would sell his new rims that he just received or hasn't received yet but you won't be seeing any used ones for sale anytime soon i bet.
HEY GUYS.
Just wanna start off by saying The 6UL's rule. i have a set of 15x8 matched with 225 45 nitto nt-01 and so far i've had 3 of 7 FTD's on them at local autoX. now i need a second set but i need the 15x9's. running out of funds, is there anybody who has a used set that wants to sell them??? i'm going to mount a set of goodyear full racing slicks on them so i can get FTD everywhere!!!

275 on the NA
275 A6
These will require a flat roll front and rear. Pull maybe 1/2" in front and 1/4~1/2" in rear. This car doesn't have much camber so it's conceivable that they might just squeak in with the less pulling with maybe -2.5° fron and -2° rear. As on the non-running NA I first checked, the tires hit the control arms at full lock. Bombing around a few business park cul-de-sac's I couldn't use enough lock for them to rub though so I don't think it'll be an issue expect for parking. You either have the choice of running a 3~5mm spacer up front and trimming the fender or just watching how much lock you use when rolling through the pits. I'll set mine up with no spacers.
..and omigod does the car turn. It's like having downforce at 45mph.

275 on the NB
275 A6
The NB was a much easier fit. With slightly rolled fenders, no pull and not enough camber, we got them to clear with just the very slightest rubbing at very high steering angle bashing through a driveway. Basically, they clear just fine.
I think an NB with the right amount of camber will clear the 275 / 15x9 6UL with just rolling. The tires hit the 70mm (2.75") spring perches at full lock just like on the NA. Those with 2.5" or 2.25" race coils will have more room. When the XIDA are ready in a few weeks I'll be able to check clearance with 2.25" coils myself.

My head is just spinning right now. I cannot believe these fit under massaged stock fenders. Cannot believe it.
I must have them. Emilio, what does your production schedule look like for 15x9s in the fall, let's say around October? I am calculating $2k for 275/35 R6 Hoosiers and 15x9s, with leeway for price increases, tax, shipping, and mounting/balancing.
