you shouldn't have to
a 9" tire is only 228.6 mm wide.

ok, well i do have to cut some of the lip out because someone had really really wide tires on it before and it rubbed and it took the paint off and made it rust over the years and it has some holes in it so i have to cut some of the lip out. thats why i not to worried about rolling them.

nope, no need to w/ stockers and a 10 1/2" even.....
i don't think they make et streets in a 9" tire though...just et drags in a 8" and 10" bur i could be wrong.

Does anyone have a pic of there fender with the rolled lip? Is it better off to go with a 9 inch slick on a 8 inch rim than a 10.5 inch slick?

vfast says it better to have a 8 or 9 inch because it will plant better, and after he said that i got to thinkin it probly would, i know what your thinking man 10.5's would look killer on your car, thats part of the reason i wanted them but ide rather stick to the ground then just have the bigger tires to show off with.
