<p>FYI with 9.5 +35, you&nbsp;<em>might</em>&nbsp;rub depending on tire size. I didn't rub with 9.5 +45 on 235/40 tires, but the front was poking ever so slightly (maybe 5mm?). Rears didn't rub either, but I eventually rolled the fenders so that I could space them out a bit more without worry.</p><p>My apologies.. don't really have much of an input on the original question but just wanted to help you prevent other potential issues going forward.</p>

I'd do the DWS06, as those are the updated version. Reviews have been positive so far (do not have personal experience with them just yet).

I found these not to long after the post of the thread, and by the reviews I'm almost positive these are what I'd go with.

Still trying to get tire and wheel specifications down, so thanks for the advice xtcnrice!

and if I did go with continental those are what I was thinking, I just wasnt able to find many reviews. @jterp

<p>No worries devinv1994. I suggest checking out some build threads on here. We also have at least 1 (maybe 2) popular wheel/drop threads to give you some information as well. </p>
