Mine are 9.5" wide. . .I ended up ordering a set of 17" x 8" 5-spoke U.S.Wheels 701 in gunmetal with a 4.5" backspace that will fit correctly. I used the Percy's Wheel-Rite to make sure I had enough clearance everywhere first. So it will be mismatched wheels front to rear until I have enough cash to upgrade to 18's all the way around.
