Interesting about the potential impact of rolling radiuses. I'd be careful with et 14 on a 9.5 regarding feel, I was not a fan of increasing the front track too far over the rear when playing with spacers.

Thanks very much for quoting offsets !
Thanks! If these wee monoblock I would say they look too big. 3-peice can get away with 21's since the spokes do not go to the edge of the barrel like monoblocks do. Imo of course.

Regarding et 9.5 14 is only about 6mm more aggressive than my 10 et 26 so it's really not that crazy. Regarding feel I would say it has more to do with the fact that you were using spacers. I can't stand spacers anymore. They rob all feel. I used to use them all the time, but got over the shimmy's and lack of feel through the steering whel. Definitely to each their own, but they are no longer for me. If your fronts are currently on spacers take them off then go for a drive. You will see what I mean.
