You're gonna want the 9" wide.
It should fit.

the 24.5x8 is just a shade skinnier. you will be out but will benefit more from the 24.5x9

Well i have the exact setup ur thinking of doing and they do work better than the 24.5x8-13... However they will rub the spindle on the narrow lenso's so u will need spacers and extended lugs or go with a wider wheel with a better back spacing...good luck! Hope my experience with this set up helps.. Mine are on an eg hatch btw dunno if that matters
