Nice to see you going outside the box and getting dirty with the low offsets!

With those widths, ie. 10" you're talking about a G35 wheel with a +25mm offset.

Perhaps modify, (beyond rolling), the fender to fit it?

In any case, please let us know how it goes. If you can fit a g35 wheel in there with a 4" + lip only by rolling the fenders... Wow!

3. Any clearance issues beyond that can be made up with stretching a 235/245 tire on the wheels instead of 275's if he plans on dropping, etc.
Yup, I agree. Stash's fitment when translated to 9.5 becomes a +31offset. With thinner tires and rolled fenders, you can subtract atleast 15mm to that equation. That gives you a grand total of a 9.5 +16 offset wheel
