18 x 9.5" +24 up front?
OK, before you say it, I know 'everyone else' runs 8.5" up front 
.. I've seen a few posts and articles on the iNet about people running 9.5 without a problem, and I got a good deal on a 9.5" + 24 setup.
When I test-mounted the wheel it looks pretty good for the outside edge, but looks like there's only 1/4" or so between the inside edge of the wheel and the inner upright.
My question is, do I have a potentially workable setup or not? Will I need to run a spacer / adapter up front to clear the suspension once a tire is mounted to the wheel (245/40 - 265/40 range)? and is that going to push the whole thing out too far?
I know this isn't 'typical' but I want to see what will work and not work.
Thanks for the assist!

You should be cool and the gang...
9.5 +22 (commen up front) is only 2mm away form your proposed new pair of shoes...1/4" is a country mile. Unless ya planned on run'n some balloon-y M/T cheater slicks 
on the FRONT(!) then you're gonna be like Fonz...and we know what Fonz is like, don't we?!
And a 2mm spacer ain't a thang if it wasn't.
My two cents.
Bolt 'em up!
j!

If anyone else is interested,
The 18x9.5 +24 setup worked out just fine!
very snug on the inside, but -zero- rubbing, and the 9.5" wheel gives a nice wide lip up front to match the back.
