Hmmm. Anybody in Denver got a fender roller I can borrow? Lol.

Yes, the 9.5 ET35 is just a little too far. The the outer edge of the wheel on the 9.0 ET35 is about even with the outer edge of the fender. Another 1/4'' ain't going to cut it and I don't want to deal with aggressive camber and rubbing to make them fit.

yep... and you're running a narrow 255 already.

and... the sectional width increases with a wider tire (it'll be wider on a 9.5" than on a 9"), so that sidewall angle increase will come into play (contact) more with the fender lip too.

we just all need M3 arches. :)

If I do any flares, they will be welded in... I'll revisit that maybe in a couple of years.

Going to take the money I was using for the wheels and upgrade the heat exchanger for the Laminova cores in the super charger... going with a huge one for the Ford Lighting with dual cooling fans. It will take up the whole lower grille. I've noticed a pretty big drop off in performance once the ambient temperature goes above 75 and it's above 75 down here for a minimum of 9 months out of the year.
