I'd be worried too at 9.5" fronts on banded steels. The max I'd go is 8.5 on Amaroks and 9s on RRs 9s on GPs

9.5s on the front of mine with no issues (yet).
I thought I was safe at the back but the 10s juuuust catch the door card with the Kiravans pocket.

9.5s on my front, would poke like Billy-O

Actually they wouldn't poke, because I'm too low, so they'd sit jammed in my arch.. are they definitely 9.5s? It's not uncommon for people to measure wheel edge to wheel edge and then take that as the width.
Apologies if that was obvious.
 
Yeah they’re definitely 9.5 and 10s.

I mentioned in a previous post I’d measured my offsets myself by using a straight edge and steel rule.

I measured edge to edge on both the 9.5 and 10s and they were both wider than their quoted width. I can’t remember the exact measurements.

As they had tyres fitted, I took the actual edge to edge measurement of the wheel and then deducted the quoted width of the wheel. I then halved that result to calculate the width of the wheel’s ‘rim’.


I then measured from the rear edge of the wheel to the hub mount face and deducted the lip measurement.

From that figure, finally, deduct half of the quoted width to arrive at an ‘approximate’ offset figure. (Assuming the rim width is equal both sides, which it appears to be)

It’s crude and simple but won’t be more than a few mm out.
 
to measure the width of a wheel it’s from where the Tyre sits on the inner rim can only be measured with the Tyres off or guessed with the Tyres on.
 
I know. Hence the word approximate at the end of the post.

If you know the quoted width and can measure the external width, you can use that detail to approximate.
