Those sizes will fit but the amount of fender work needed and tire sizes will depend on the offset of the wheels.

for the 10.5 i would run a 265/30/19 or 275/30/19 for the 9.5 a 235 or 245/30. speedometer reading won't be affected too much, there will be slight stretch, but with the info you have given us its hard for us to help you.

whats hard is you're asking for a pretty wide wheel and a meatier tire so you don't ruin the wheels with potholes etc. My main concern is the offset of the wheels, and how low you are, if its a low offset and your on lowered suspension it could hit your fenders. Yes you may see some of us here run 10.5 and 11.5's but thats mostly with body work, camber, and Stretching tires.
