If I do the 9Js, I'll be running a decently stretched tire on there. So far I'm looking at 8Js all around.
In front wheels R18 J8.5 et25 rear J9.5 et27
So you're worried about wheel gap? Just get the next taller height. I was looking at 205/40 for a 9J, but since you're on the GCs, you'd probably want something more 45 at the least. IF you go with the 205s, as well as a 9" wide. But, also, the 215/45 would be better to close wheel gap, just not as much as a stretch, which might/more than likely pose more fender clearance problems in the rear. Well, for my drop height, that is, and more than likely yours, as well. I'd have to see pictures up close of your current setup.

LOL Just got back from a 10 mile bike ride, and basically said what you already said lol
