Remember, a 9.5" wheel is actually around 10.5" wide at its widest points. The more backspace you have, the less of a front "dish" the wheel will have. Inversely, the less backspace you have, the deeper the wheel will look, but the further it will stick out from the axle flange.

I went through all of this before when ordering my wheels. I wanted knockoffs, but the backspaces that were available would still make them stick out past my fenders...

I went with a PSE wheel....15x9.5 with a 4.5" backspace.
