I have 18 x 8 with 5.75 back spacing with a 24.5" tall front tire and it hugs the inner wheel lip very tight.

The only problem I had was the front end was still a little high so I added drop spindles to get the top of the tire even with the wheel well arch. In doing so the rim hit the outer Tie Rod. In order for it to work I install a set of Bear Tracker Hiem Joint tie rod ends and a 1/4 spacer.

If you go with Stock Spindles you will not have a problem. I was recently told that CPP makes a drop spindle that will clear a 9" rim. But I have not confirmed that yet.
