9" will fit 8.5 will fit 255 wide tire will fit, so long as you get the right offset, say 39mm to 35 mm.

so your sayin 19by9 wide rim will fit on the max, the tire is not my main concern as long as it doesnt rub due to its large width. and sorry to sound dumb but i dont know too much about explanations on rims and tires so can u please explain to me exactly what u mean my offset? i think u mean how think the tire will be but im not sure, im goin down to atleast 19/255/35,, maybe even 30 if thats what u meant, heres what the rims look like...

offset it how far off center the lugs are from the center of the rim.

sweet im pretty sure that a zero offset alone would work, the only thing now is that i feel like and idiot since i knew what that meant just coulndt think of it at the time, havent used those terms 4ever.

If you do not use the correct offset

you tires could rub, or they good stick out past the wheel wells which looks really shi tah. Either way I suggest you really use the search function and do some research before you make a purchase.

A zero offset will suck...the offset you want is 35mm-39mm asuming you want the flush look with the fenders...With a 9" wide wheel you don't really want to run less than a 245 and a 255 should be good again with these offsets. 255 is the width of the tire, 35 is the aspect ratio of the sidewall compared to the width (meaning it's 35% tall of the total width of 255)...35 will be fine.

Considering there is no such thing as 35-39 He wants anything between 35 and 39mm meaning 35mm, 36mm,37mm, 38mm,39mm, not to say others wount work or don't look good but thats the range I think he should stick within.

im not expert at thise but im pretty sure that he meant negative so the rims would be in flush with the fenders, that would look sick, but the only problem that im thinkin that id have with that is the harsh reality of curb checks...
