The new 17x8.5" ET44 is an easy bolt-on solution as shown above, and the new 17x9" ET48 has a slightly higher offset in comparison to the Gen I 9" fitments we offer (ET42 & ET35) so that the rear is easier to tuck under the fenders.
With that said, if a gen II owner has negative camber dialed in and is willing to trim their rear fenders, they can certainly go for one of our lower offset 9" "gen I" wheels.

Thanks Ryan.
In context of 9" width only, I know anything below 40-42 offset causes rubbing with fender in rear and anything above causes rubbing with suspension in front. I assume 48 would have same issue of rubbing with springs?
The set up I want does actually makes problem worse for me, I wanted slight negative camber in front only, no rear camber. Don't want to cut fenders but I would be going with aftermarket suspension along side wheel upgrade.
