to me it looks like the 9.5 fronts spokes are not concave enough like the rear
if it's correct

is there more aggressive offset in for 9.5 front?
or is it a good idea to do 10.5 +22 in the front? will 10.5 fit 255~265 tires fine?

thanks in advance
The 9.5 et35 version is flat faced. The 9.5" et22 Te37/sl has pretty much the same concave as the rear 10.5 et22. If you look closely the difference is the lip size. The only reason to run 10.5" in the front is to run square 275's front and rear. Be prepared for some serious camber, possibly spacers, and general fitment challenges to fit a 10.5" in the front. Do not put a 255 or 265 width tire on a 10.5". I wouldn't run anything narrower than a 275 and even that will look stretched IMO.

I'm not sure how you can look at this picture and think that the front spokes are significantly less concave than the front....
