      9 is fine at et10 but 9.5 would need to go quite a bit more. I forgot the actual MMs but I tried it out on a 9.5 wheel and had to keep stacking spacers together till it finally cleared. It would be way past "poke" though lol

        well a 1/4 inch is just about 7mm , so maybe if you ran a 38mm adapter you could make it work lolz

          Ya pretty much. I have some 9.5 salad shooters I tried to fit up front but ended up getting 8.5 fronts to make it easier.

            Polak already said what offset you would need: et5. If you have camber plates these actually wouldn't be that hard to fit, plus they're great offsets for adapting. 33mm front with ~1.5 degrees camber added and a 30mm rear adapter and these would be pretty much perfectly flush

                    These wont fit without some serious fender massaging, and stretch, especially up front. I guess I simply hate the idea of running anything smaller than a 245/40 on a 9.5.... :?

                      If you don't mind running lots of camber, you could probably run a 245/35 all around. Rear would need a 20mm adapter and a flat roll. Theres only 1 tire in that size though, and there are stickier narrow tires out there.

                        Ya, but running even a 245/35 is pretty stretched, and after all that camber is dialed in, what's your effective contact patch?

                        Just giving you a hard time. I'm always about function > form. :p

                            thanks for all the input everyone!

                            for now i'm going to stick to a local sale, that may change however depending on interest.

                              Just wondering, but what do you gain from a local sale besides for not having to package them up? If there are people willing to give you money for something, what's it matter where they are?

                              Sorry if this is considered a thread crap, I like the wheels is why I keep opening the thread.
