225 is too skinny of a tire for a 9.5 inch wheel.
That'll fit in the back, you'll need to roll the fenders though if you're lowered.

just as an example, I run 275 tires on my 19x10 wheels.

18x10.5 +43 fits with a 265 tire with no rubbing...He wouldnt need a roll. But putting a 225 on a 9.5" wheel is just dumb. Don't put anything less than a 255 on it.

To the OP, don't go with that tire size...tire stretch is a horrible look and even worse for driving.

Yea my 245s are a little too thin for 9.5" wide (if you don't like the stretched look). Definitely 255 or wider.

Definitely agree with Jedi...I am not a huge fan of stretched tires. But I'm more of a performance enhancement type of person...if you think it will look good like that by all means don't let us talk you out of it.
