The 9.5" wheel isn't offered in an "exact match" using back-spacing dimensions, the wheel/tire combination would be nearly 1/4" more outboard than it is presently using the 7.250 spec they mention as max.

The 11" could be done and assuming they only offer increments of .250 I would think you would want 7.25, that would push the wheel/tire less than 1/4" more out. A 7.500 would be pretty close, maybe only .100 or so off.

It would be maybe advisable to ask if they offer the "offset" specs for their wheels.

The SSL I used is the 17" and I think it's only offered in 17" - maybe not. Did I miss something? It's generally accepted that the 9.5 is 7.4 +/- and the 11 is 7.4 also+/- when discussing back-spacing.
