Squeegie's setup is meatier than it was before but I still wouldn't call that meaty. For meaty the 9.5 should probably have a 255 or 265 and the 10.5 a 285 or so.

^Maybe not steve, but I'd still call it an optimal amount of stretch. The Amuse car runs 265 on 10.5j, and 245 on 9.5j is roughly equal amount

Rozay, maybe the Arvou S2000 can give some inspiration?

This is my first running a meat setup, and running the aggressive offsets that I am, its harder to fit a full crazy meat size tire... Currently my tires are basically squared out, maybe a very minor stretch, but probably on my next set of tires, I am debating on going 255/35 up front and 275/35 in the rear... all depends though...

I completely understand that the offsets are preventing you going a bit wider on the tire. You can get the exact same width rims in higher offsets too and still get the concave face and be able to fit a lot more tire. I know they make the TE SL in a 18x10 +40 or 30 and both of those would easily fit a much bigger tire and still look the same as far as concave face goes.
