I am trying to get the most grip out of a 9" slick and I have fitted a 8" rim on the car with no problem but a 9" may be too close to the quarter.Is the risk worth the reward here?Will there be a big advantage going from a 8 to a 9 inch rim?

Not as much as going from a 7" to an 8" ?
The 7" would be the minimum rim for a 9" slick so the
percentage of increase would be greater from going
from the 7" to 8" over the 8" to 9"... but it might
still be small
