I have them in 18x8.5 +30 and there's about a millimeter of clearance between the spokes and the brakes in the front with no spacer. Also, with the 8.5 with and a 245 tire, I'm slightly mexi flush in the rear so with a 9.5 you're either gonna have to shim the rear or really stretch the tire. On yyz springs and konis set to half stiff I still can rub in the back over a really big bump.

what do you mean by shim? i'm running hsd coils that are set to the stiffest they can be from your knowledge do you think that i would be fine with the 9.5? i'm also worried about them hitting the strut how much clearance do you have there?

if anything you can run a 3mm or a 5mm spacer, if you need better fitment. shouldnt need to shim anything. 9.5 is pretty wide but it should tuck in there. may rub a little.

I run 18x9.5 +22 on bc coils and it's low as possible in the back and the back never rubs. The front only rubs if I hit a huge bump. Running will also depend on what tires you run. I run 225/40. Also they clear brembos by a good amount with no spacer
