Need 1st hand expertise of someone thats fitted 8.5"s or 9"s in the front

[xDTool]

looking for someone with first hand experience or pictures of wide rims up front.

Probably picking up a set of 17 x 9.5s this weekend, looking for offsets people had used, any fender rolling, pulling theyve done, backspacing problems anyones run into.

just getting an idea of how much pulling im gonna be doing to get these fit.

dont think I'll have an issue fitting them out back.

Gonna be fun fitting these.

the offset is everything. i think( it's all theory) a +35 in that size would fit. but treally tough to say. I think you'll be rolling some fenders if you can even can

just a quick question, what is the offset you looking at and size of tires?

offset is not determined yet, the wheels im picking up are 17x9.5 +56 which i have the intension of using as a buffer zone for adapter spacers. the idea is to test fit with +56 offset and space to clear suspension and hopfully not get too much poke on the front or rear.

tire size i dont know. one of the reasons im looking for input, and definitly planned on coming to you for that katch since youve fitted 9s already, and have a decent idea. i plan on stretching but would like to get away with something mild to moderate.

this set of rims will hopefully allow me to guinea pig fitment, and get my initial roll and pull done

was thinking a 215 or a 225 / 45 for tire size? 215 too much of a stretch?

235s will probably be too much tread

edit: as far as sidewall though, do you think i need a taller sidewall?
