Next size up, 325/45R17, is listed as fitting an 11" + wheel...not sure how it would do on a 9.5".

I'm still waiting on a confirmation from either Derek @ 1320 Wheels or Sam @ Race Star Industries.

Edit:
I just called Sam @ Race Star Industries.
She stated that the container arrived last night and it was currently being unloaded.
I asked if any orders would ship today and she said they were trying to make that happen, wasn't sure how many or if any would be ready for their daily Fed-Ex pick-up, but that all orders would definitely be shipped by tomorrow.

I just checked their website and it says in stock!

I don't know whether to go with the 4.5 or 7" front wheels. Hmm...

See edit above.

I don't think the 4.5" are available yet.
First run of wheels were only 9.5" and 7".
4.5" WERE approved but not shipping til at least June. (see comment #81)

Well...they filled up the Fed-Ex truck yesterday but all of the orders wouldn't fit...mine included. Just received tracking # for mine this afternoon.

Good news all around.

Did you decide on what front tires you're going to run?

215/65R17 was my first choice...now leaning toward 225/65R17 or 235/60R17 for higher load rating...
but of course, higher load rating adds weight to the tires as well...so, I guess to answer your question...no.
