Default All of the above

Front fenders, wheel wells and frame rails. Outside rubs at the inner fender to fender attachment and flaring fenders and boxing out the wheel wells will fix that, but then inside sidewall will rub the frame at the steering gearbox location when turned. This is why ALL of the aftermarket subframes have narrower frame rails..
It can all be made to work with enough effort and metalworking skills. At least that is my experience.... I have 9" wheels and its tight in both locations.

What size tire are you running on the 9" rim? Also is it a 18" rim?

Thanks

Im running 275 on a 68 camaro with rolled and cut fenders (which you cant tell from the outside). Fits with lots of space on the inner area, maybe a half inch. So yes I think you can do 10in wheel. Offset needs to be spot on and tire diameter should not be too big. Im running small tire diameter 275/35-18
