Nope, +40 on a 9.5 with 245's wont even get close to fit.
you need at least +15-+20 in order not to rub and then you can fit a 245/40 with a little camber. a nice pull.
9.5s will not work up front unless you're willing to do some stretching. Stretching in the rear will also be necessary with 9.5s with a +15. If you look at my first post on the first page, you can see how a 9.5 will fit with a +15. The tire you see is a 235/35 series, so if you're really set on running a 9.5 up front, I would recommend running a smaller tire and even still will need to run some camber. Camber on the front was something I didn't want to do as I wanted to maintain as much traction as possible. Just something to think about.

so are you 8.5 in the front? I like the cambered look and all, but i'm all for it when it comes to function.

Yes, I'm running 8.5 up front and running either a 9.5 or 10.5 in the rear depending on my mood or meet, lol
