That's why I asked why a lower offset, which pushes the wheel outward to the fender like you said, would be an issue. You'd think the 9.5 ET42 would fit similar to the 8.5 ET52 with a 12mm spacer. That's why I posted that image to try and give a visual representation. Look at that picture and imagine the 8.5in wheel being pushed out 12mm, due to spacer, and the fitment isn't far off of the 9.5's I want to run, no? Yes it will poke out more then the 8.5s with the spacer, but not much (10mm), which I don't see being an issue. The 8.5's with no spacer have at least an inch they can be pushed out with the 255 tires I want to run.

I just gave you the math... If Et42 git then Apex wouldn't of made 1 series specific fitments of ET58-ET62. There is no way you won't rub. I have 17x9 ET45 and I had to roll my rear fenders (-1.7* camber). I STILL rub. An ET45 9.5" wheel will poke another 7mm beyond that and ET42 wheel would poke another 3mm for 10mm total. 255 is slightly stretched though on a 9.5" wheel and -2.5*+ camber would help. Again, not ideal at all though.
