Default Fitting wheels on and EK hatch

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site. Just hoping to get a few opinions on a subject.


So right now I'm running a set of CCW Classics. I love the stance, but I want more next year.

Right now I'm running about -4.5 degrees of camber in the front, and just under -6 (about -5.8) degrees in the rear.
My wheels are 16x8.5 +15 with a 195/45/R16 stretched on them.

Now this is where it gets interesting, I want wider. Especially in the rear, since my wheels are 3-piece I was going to order new barrels, instead of lips. To keep the same offset, but go wider.

I want to go 10' in the rear, and 9" up front.

IS THIS POSSIBLE? I know tire size will play a factor, I have no problem with stretch. Just wanting to know if this is possible.

Thanks for your time!

And if that doesn't work, get a bigger hammer.

Have you looked at the recommended wheel width specifications per the data listed on www.tirerack.com ?
