Anyone tried 18x9 Konig Zero?

Did anyone try the 18x9 (45mm) Konig Zero wheels. I am hoping to take advantage of the NASA sponsorship program and the 265/35/18 I get to buy at discounts. Any pictures, anyone familiar with that size?

Thanks

They will fit like stock wheels. 265 on a 9in wheel is pushin it.

I used 265 on my 8.5" wheels before, so i know the tires fit. I just don't know what it would look like with it on that's all, thanks

Oh lawdd do you have pics of this? You know tire manufacturers have a minimum rim width for a reason right?

I just mounted 245 on my OEM wheels, looks perfect and it fit like it belong on there too.

265 on a 9" wheel is a perfect fit.

265s on a 9 inch wheel works really well. That's what many of the STX guys are running for autocross. I haven't tried those wheels out but based on the size and offset it should work without any issues. Just make sure the wheels will clear the brake calipers.
