A 9 wide won't fit under the car, it will poke out for sure. Might also sit too far inward and rub. Why so wide? What exact model?

Model wheel I'm not sure.. Why the price is too good..
I was thinking it might be close on the inside but depending on how close use a small spacer. Poke I don't mind as long as it's not tank looking..
