Should fit. Offset of 35 or lower should allow it to work out just fine.

255/40/18 would probably be the best.

There's not a good shot of the back end. If I had 10" wide wheels, I'd want to take some pics of it.

What is the offset of those rims?

I'm thinking of putting on a 9.5" rim on the back. What size tire can I go with?

Perhaps you could start your own??

Nope....not bad at all...they look a little thin from that angle, but camera angle is everything. I'm sure they look fat as hell from other shots...hell my 17x8's look wide from certain angles.
