Put your phone up there and take a pic or video to see how much clearance you have then try 3mm spacers.
9.5 width does not fit well on stock struts, they either poke a lot or are dangerously close(<5mm) to rubbing. As soon as you lower it, add camber, etc, the clearance is even less. Or take the risk with 5mm spacers. Either way, not too safe.
That is why everyone always says, -just get coils.
You want big boy wheels? Get big boy suspension. Or step it down a notch... Or get extended lugs... Or live dangerously.

Thanks! Already ordered the spacers so I'll play it safe. There is just a little rubbing at full lock without the 5mm spacers. I'll have to save up for coils
