56MM up front will require spacers
for a 9.5 wheel try to get as close to 38MM as possible

50MM will work for the rears

I've got 56mm up front on a 18X8.5" rims and the fit is perfect...identical to stock.
I think 38mm would be waaaay too far in.

It's the other way around. The higher the number the farther in it goes.

My AFS ZR1 rep's are 9.5" on all corners with a 56mm offset and they fit perfectly ... had 'em on for about two years now. I'm with Tally ... so is the chart in the STICKY.
