That would look great. +40's all around would look even better, though fitment would be a big problem then.

would 245 fit properly on a 9.5inch wide rim? my friend is scared that if the tires are stretched that if it rubs, it will be the lip of the rim rubbing on the fender.

a 245 would fit fine on a 9.5 rim, and wouldn't be toooo stretched. It depends on the tire though. My friend and I have a 245 tire on a 9" rim, but his looks a little stretched while mine doesn't. He has fuzion zri's and I have Kumho MX.

wide rims with skinnier tires looks stupid - if you're gonna have a 9.5" wheel in the back, get wide rubber. no smaller than 255; roll the fenders or whatever but don't get too skinny of a tire.

decide who to listen to depending on their experience and what they ride on/.

anything wider than 245 will rub,

the pull is what makes it fit..
