I'm not sure what is the offset for 9", but you can check the after market wheel section. There is plenty of info in there....gl.

25 definitely wont fit like the other guy said 31+ is ideal. isx50's offset is super high without stretching tires and such u wont be able to get a low offset rim on fronts or backs...even though ive pushed it into high 20's

ok take back my statement cause i just came on today and seen a post with a super low 20 fitment so yea idk they must have done something special cause slammed with that fitment seems almost impossible without modding something further.
