I have a 9" that was narrowed a little more than stock. (Maybe 1 to 1.5" on each side?). The rear wheels are a 17X8 with 4 backspace (deeper dish) and the fronts are 17X8 with 5" backspace.
They are tucked in a stock wheel well. You have to be sure your offset is exact otherwise you will rub with 8" wheels. Measure the offset carefully before you order your wheels.

You can fit an 8" wheel in a stock wheel well with a 5" backspace
Depending on how centered your rear end housing depends on whether your tires will rub. Personally, I think a 7" wheel looks just fine + you don't have to worry everytime you load the family in it. Looks good like it sits. :thumbsup:
