Rival, what size tires would you want to be running on those 9.5's?

It will work if you work to make them work. Just takes some work.

atleast you have the right tire size in mind 275 is what everyone wants to run and that would be more rubbing

I'm running 265's with full max pos camber for my ride height with no rubbing at full compression....

Function and form can come hand in hand.

How much work are you comfortable with doing to your fenders?

275's on 9.5 feel mushy in turns unless you've got some hefty toe out, which no one wants...

What prices are you seeing for the 57's? They're pretty cheap wheels...

RZ's are nice as well, great concave.

on 18x9.5 +22 with a 255/35 that may not even be necessary. Best bet would be to find someone with a close setup and add spacers to compare exactly how far out that is. My memory is hazy when it comes to that exactly. You would probably have to pull the front a hair but a clean pull ain't too bad.
