I would wait until you need new tires then I would go to a 16 or 17 or even 18 inch wheel. That lets you run 4.5” of backspacing instead of 3.5” which means it moves the outside of the wheel out 1” and the inside edge in 1” on a 10” rim which is common in 16 and 18 inch diameters. If you run 17’s the 9” is more common. That allows for more and better clearance to the fender cup and the frame IME.
