Default You'll likely experience rubbing ...
Many here experience minor contact up front when turning under compression with just an 8" wide rim and ET35 offset. Plus, you'll want to run at least 235 rubber, 245 or 255 would be even better suited to a 9" width, and those would definitely require rolling the fenders ... and even that might not be enough.
