Well my fronts are flared right now with a special tool i like to call a rubber hammer. It goes in the body shop next week to have them flared properly while my new bumper is getting painted. I think if I wasn't so low it would be much easier to fit- i am borderline tucking tire in the front at the moment.

Mods to make them fit so far- Rubber hammered the fronts, trimmed fender liners. The rear is completely rolled, it's rubbing on my rear bumper, i still need to trim it.

For my next set of tires, i will be running a 255 in the front and the rear instead of the 245 on it currently.

What exactly are you referring to by "the guards", sorry. There isn't much info about fitting the 9.5's all around, i'll try and help if/when i can guys.

That helped me alot, thats for that.

Guards means fenders, I forget that fenders is what yanks use

Im thinking to run these settings, im not very low and my coils are set on extreemly stiff settings.

Fronts 17 x 9 +45 245/40
Rears 17 x 9.5 +38 255/40

My rears are lipped but I can raise if its rubbing on the fender.

how does you rear tire line up against the fender do the rear wheels stick out alot??
