Normally I would say 5.5" on a 9" wheel but since your arms are narrowed 1" you might get away with the 4.5" - it's gonna depend on your tire size, mostly. Mind you the figures from my experience are on static dropped trucks with rolled fender lips and the fender liner still in place; bagged and bodied I'm gonna assume you probably have trailer fender style liners or some other type of fabbed liners for clearance, right?

Who's making the wheels?
