Looks like that 9.5" wheel is available in a +45 offset so you would be fine with even a 265 tire.

I've got a 9.5" rear with a 265 with a +38 offset. Not lowered, but it would be fine on downs so the +45 wheel should be fine.

thank you for the info. i appreciate it. yes i was thinking of going the staggered route with the 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the rear, but i wasn't going to go more than 255 for the tire on the rear.
thanks again

265 will put enough meat on the tire to save the wheel in an incident. 255 will be stretched. This is a 265 on a +38 offset so you will be 7 mm closer to the car

ah ok, good to know, I will ask the company if they will provide that option to me.
I don't even want to know how much two of those tires cost...lol.
thanks again for the knowledgeable insight.

after shopping around and a lot of debating I chose the APEXI NI-X EVOLUTION axle back exhaust system for a little over 900.00.
