yea... 195's on a x9 is too much of a stretch. Go 205's maybe.

Also, can't you just check their suspension setup from their site?

roll your fenders for sure. why don't you just wait until you have the wheels and tires on the car to see if you need to remove the fender liners? the fenders in the picture you posted don't look pulled either, so i'm assuming you'll be able to fit the wheels with skinny tires and negative camber.

Get em rolled for sure, pulled possibly. Many shops do fender rolling now, if you can't find... then use Craiglist. There's a lot of people offering that service on CL. If all else fails, do it yourself. Rent out a fender roller or something, but please don't use a bat.

I got mine rolled by some dude.. he added the rolling on top for a trade on some wheels.. but he did a crappy job. When I went to get my new wheels put on at the shop, it wouldn't fit right. They re-rolled it for $150... kinda expensive, but I was desperate at the time. Where you located? A friend of mine found a guy on CL that did $20 a fender and so on... you just gotta look around.

This thread needs to be moved to GDD, no reason ever to put 195 tires on 9 inch wide rims. That kind of crap is unsafe and can hurt others.
