Hmm, with stock front fenders that will not work. Do you have wide front fenders?

What size tire are you trying to run on these 9's? And you can work the front fender to maybe make this work but it will be a complete hackjob.

If you get fenders then a 9" +10 or +15 will suffice up front. In the rear you can do a +25 to a +40.

Ahhh...great advice man. Just wondering though *don't wanna hi-jack* Would a set of 17X7.5J with a +40 offset fit on a T2? Also, if you don't mind taking the time to, wondering what size tires I would need to run to fit.
