Hi guys. I'm new here and have been doing a lot of trolling around but I haven't found a conclusive answer. I hope you can help me out.

I'm looking to run a 9.5" wheel with as minimal amount of poke as possible. It seems like the most common offset for 18x9.5" is +38mm. The problem is, I want to stay on stock suspension, and, at least from my estimations, a wheel that size will need at least a 12mm spacer to fit without hitting the suspension. I'm not willing to do that, so these will have to hold off until I get coilovers if true.

My fallback plan was to get RPF1's in 17x9" +35mm. It seems like these should *just barely* fit without any issues, but I would like some confirmation before I pull the trigger on these. Has anyone had firsthand experience with this setup?

Another question, in case the 17x9's actually don't fit, how big of a slide-on spacer can I safely use without replacing the wheel studs? I wouldn't think I would need anything more than 3mm.

Thanks for the help and pardon my noobishness hahah.
