Default Front Wheel Size

Hi,

What's the widest one can go on the stock front setup on a 90 lx? I am looking at a good sale on 17x10's and they are saying back only. I do have tubular control arms on the car so I have more clearance than stock.

Thanks!!!

I'm running 17 × 9's in the front, with 235/45 tires and they rub the inner fender at full turn. My car is lowered 2" thou, don't know if that will help you, but 10" rims in the front doesn't sound popular.

As stated control arms aren't the problem area of rubbing, it's the inner wheel wells. I've never seen anyone run wider than 9 in the front without issues.
