I'm plus-sizing my S197 to 18". I don't want to stagger. So I'm debating 9.0 vs 9.5. Who has 9.5's up front, and have you had any issues? Do they fit OK?

I'll have some Nitto 555's on all 4 corners, 285/40. Those Nitto's are a bit on the narrow side, and should fit really perfectly on that width rim.

Also...9's all round vs 9.5...tracking issues? Rain roads killing you or no?

can't speak for 9.5's, but i do have 9's and 45mm offset with no issues. the 9.5's should be fine with the correct offset on the front, but i don't know if i would run 285/40's on the front. you would be better off with a 255/45 in the front...
