26"x9" on the front should work without rubbing the tierod. If they rub you can buy some wheel spacers.

Also if they rub the fenders you can put some spring spacers on to stiffen up the spring. If you don't have a winch,brushgaurd or plow I wouldn't think they would rub. I have some pics of the spacers in my gallery.

I have heard of people having issues and not having issues with the 26's. are you planning on putting the tires on stock wheels? I think you will have tierod problems with the stock wheels, you may either need to buy wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with a different backspacing. I talked with bullet67, he has the 26's on stock wheels and had to use spacers. as far as rubbing you may decide to go with a strut spring spacer to lift the front end up which will also help level the front end. PM me if your interested in a set of spacers, I have pictures of them in my gallery.
