    im pretty sure the rim will work.
    i don't know if the tire will work, on the MT site it says measuring rim width is 11"

    i bought 17x9.5 ZO6 wheels with 295/45/17 Mickey Thompson E.T. Streets from VegasNate, he is lowered about and inch and said they don't rub

    I use the same tires on 9"wide, 50offset fbody rim. Works fine.

    I use GTO spare wheels and bias ply M&H front runners.



    You can buy the wheels from PACE and the tires direct from M&H.
