has anybody ever done 9.5's in the rear? if so what size and offset did you have, did you have problems? did you have to stretch your fender or anything? basically if you have done it tell me everything you know!! lol

No, but I'm running a 18x10 +37 on a 225/40. I only had to roll the fenders. I wish I went with something like a +31, but I ran into no problems as far as fitment goes.
