you will have to measure to see where the backspace of your wheel will put the inside lip at in relation to the wheel well and control arm. do a search on that wheel name in here and see what others have found to work. Thats a killer looking wheel! Good luck

Are you sure they are 9" wide? The usual sizes for TTIIs are 17x8 or 17x9.5. If you measure across a 8" wheel from outter edge to outter edge it will be 9". If that's the case you are looking for 4" backspace.

A 9.5 is a tuff fit on the front without flares. You would probably need about 5" or so of backspace and a 255/45-17 tire to have a chance it would work. The biggest issue is about the most backspace you can go in the front is 4.5" and even then some guys have had inside rubbing issues. I think you would need to do some mods to get this to work. Starting with grinding the fender lip in the front and limiting full travel in the steering by moving the steering stops. It may be best to pass on this combo and wait to find something that fits better.
Maybe someone will chime in here that has used a 9.5 in the front with success and tell you how they did it.
