As for the wheels, I was able to get 9.5" on 265/35-18 Hankook RS4 to fit all the way around. It's like a small jacket on a fat man but they will fit. I'll post more details once I am 100% sure they will fit without any issues.
On the warranty/rebuild with KW, yea, it's a bit painful, for sure.. They actually don't warranty their Clubsports, at all! Whereas they do with V1-V3's. Which is also why I was pleased to buy them brand n'used from iND, for 1/3 price lol. But at least they are rebuild-able, just gotta hope and pray I never have issues, mid season

As for wheels, that's great! Haha, agree 100% on the fat man/ small jacket, we test fitted the 9" wheel with PSS's and it's damn close without the camber set. The primary reason I wanted the 9" wheel was to run a smaller spacer, which is required to clear the spring seat, so I should be able to get away with a 10-12mm vs 15-20mm.. I learned a lot about what I'd be up against, through Anthony235, he's also made a 9.5" square setup work, for him, with CS's.

Can't wait to see how this goes, tuned in!
