I've heard that they run small. I compared them to my 275 Mickey's from last year. They don't look any smaller (width wise) than the Mickey's. They are definitely taller which is what I wanted.

Check out my setup. 255/45/18 front and 285/40/18 rear I went with the nitto 555's, they work great. I dont have springs on yet so it will look even better once that is done.
The Nittos are an option at 275/40 and 285/40, but I don't think they hook as well as the BFG's.

Anything smaller than 275's up front are not an option with the 10" wheels.

I talked to someone at M&H, he said the 275's should be fine a 10" wide rime. He wouldn't advise any wider.

I dunno who you talked to, but that's not accurate. M&H advised me the 325's work fine, and I've seen several people running them. 275 for 9" wheel or 325 for a 10" wheel. You also get an inch and a half more tread width with the 325's. Heck, just look at the page:

Says fits 9.0-11.0 inch wheels. So with all logic, 10" is perfect.

275 says 9" wheel width. So I definitely wouldn't put that on a 10" wheel, consider M&H runs small.

I didn't ask his name, sorry. He said that the 325's would be ideal butI wouldn't have any problems with 10's. He also said that 9 is ideal but they are ok on anything from 8-10. Since he was talking to somebody from engineering, I'd have a tendency to believe him. There are cars running 11's on the 275's, I don't think I really need the extra width of the 325's for what I hope to be a 12.5 second car.
