Why not go 9.5 in back, 8.5 in front. 8.5s would probably be fine, you can put some pretty fat rubber on 8.5s. Where did you find those? How much? I think those would look sweet @*** sweet!
Just make sure your brakes look good, there is alot of room to view them.

no, i don't really like those "Eagles are they???"
they look to much like circles in between each spoke, not all for that
but do you think the 9.5 will stick out of the fender wall at all?

well if you want the 18x9.5 QwkTrip said that with his 17's @9.5 5.5 in back spacing works so it prolly would work for you too.
-correction he said 5.5 will fit evenly around. you probably would need 5in even in front

I love the wheel, it is so simple and elegant and mean all at the same time. Personally, I would go with the smaller width, unless you have a monstor of a motor, then I would get the wider rims to put the power to ground and not spinning aimlessly.
