Does stretching to accomodate the 9" width affect anything on the tires? Will they wear out faster or something?

I don't mind the lip stretching past the fenders. Looks kinda cool.

Thanks for all the info, guys!

Edit: Also, I assume the stock lug nuts are tapered? I'll try asking the seller to see if the holes on the wheel will match that style.

Edit 2: The seller just told me that valve stems aren't included. Can I just move the TPMS valve stems from the stock wheels over to these ones? Do new rims typically come with no valve stems?
