"Q: Can I widen to both the fron and back of my wheel? A: No. Wheels are either front mount or reverse mount wheels, meaning if we widen to both sides you will be unable to have a tire mounted on the rim. We can always widen to the inside of a wheel. We cannot always add width to the front/face of your rims. For questions regarding widening to the front please contact James at james@weldcraftwheels.com and include wheels in the subject line."
It's possible.... LOL

I could give you a pretty close estimate, but your better off getting under your car and measuring yourself. I wouldnt trust what anyone says with such a big investment anyway. When you start getting into custom modding like this, In my experience your covering your ass this way, and even then it can be a bit of a risk/gamble if your getting right up to max and trying to account for different tire manufacture width that you have no reference to in person.

You have at least 1" you can safely add to the inside, giving you a 9.5" wheel that will better maximize the footprint on a 255. Beyond that, as mentioned you should get under the car and measure. You can add more widening room by adding a spacer. Remember camber and suspension movement takes up room, so consider for this as well.

Right of course. I was just looking for a ball park measurement. And I figured I could add a spacer too with extended lugs and get a little more inside clearence.

Replacing stock studs are a pain in the ass so just get spacers that have the studs in them already and leave oem alone. Id be nervous running longer studs anyway with the amount of forces applied. Just fyi, anything over 6mm you will need studs with. But if your into doing the typical fender modification, you can run about 25mm, which means at minimum adding 2" to the inside.

Right. I meant intergrated studs or whatever they are called. I will post up some pics if I decide to do this. Thanks for all the help. I would be totally lost if it wasn't for some of the people on this forum.
