honesely they prolly can be put on but I think over time it's to much stress on the steering rack. I was pretty close on putting 235-45-17 on my car but I'm not going with 225-45-17. it's just going to be to much stress.

I thought you meant 9inch rims as in the diameter.

What are the dimensions of the wheels, along with offset? You need to provide more detail.

YES YOU CAN RUN THEM! offset +30 9" wide works. a guy in Florida has some on his car. I run 18x8.5 +35 on my car.I dont think a +38 will work right with a 9" wide rear. I may be wrong though.
