Default 10" rims on front?

I have read that 9" rims are the biggest you want to run on the front. I want to put 275/40/18 on all corners like the Roush 427. The Roush parts guys said it runs 10" all the way round. So is 10" on the front doable in your opinion?

It would depend on the rim......
Giant tires dont look good in front regardless if Roush does it on their tuner cars.

you should just go 9' in the front and 10' in the back trust me it looks plenty sick and lines up nicely with the fender

Would you go 275/40/18 on those staggered rims?

The thing I like about 10" (if it can be done) is tire rotating.

Yes you can do 18x10 all the way around. Roush does it for a reason.... It rides like you are on rails. Its the ideal setup for the track.

"rides like on rails" would more attributable to the 275 tires than 10" rims right (since 275 is the contact point)? If so, are you saying 275 arnt a good choice for eveyday driving? What would that mean to someone that doesnt race?
