Is anyone running a 9.5 in the front? If so, please post pics? Any modifications needed to make fit correctly?

I got 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear with no mods. The 9.5 in the front are no problem but the rear size limit ur tire size options a little.

What size tire for 9.5 in front? I found some wheels that are 9.5 all around and want to grab them up before they are gone.

245/35/r19 gives a nice low profile and enough sidewall not to have to worry too much about road conditions

No, just means the tire will stretch a lil (less sidewall).

Technically speaking the wheels should be aligned with the fender and the tires should align with the wheels.
IN other words, nothing should stick out, nothing should look tucked
