to answer the question, 9.5" +30 will likely hit the coilover in the front. if you space it out (10-15mm will do it), it will hit the fender. you're going to have to roll the fender.

here's my quick and dirty way to figure out tire width. take wheel width, add 1" for wheel lips, convert to metric by multiplying by 25.4, round up or down depending on how much buldge or stretch you want. that will give you a very mild stretch.

9.5+1=10.5*25.4=266.7
i'd run 265/40/17s if they were readily available, but 255/40s are more common.

brake clearance has nothing to do with wheel specs, only spoke design. you'll have to test fit or find someone who has for that particular wheel.
Fitment theory...finally someone sums it up in a simple statement! I've used this method countless times to answer fitment ?s haha. Thanks man!
