18x10s all around, good or bad?
I was interested in getting 18x10s all around or 18x9s in the front and 18x10s in the rear.
I have received different opinions and just wanted to know a few more.
Is it a bad idea to run 18x10s all around? I wouldn't mind having wide tires too but what do you all recommend?
Is the handling the same? or worse by having 18x10s all around?

Besides looking bad, you should consider reading this before you go too much further.
Here's an excerpt:
"Why can’t I put a 10 or 10.5” rim on the front of a Mustang?
The front end of a Mustang is set up in a way that will only allow a 9” rim to be used. The brakes, struts, A-arms etc. are located in or around the wheel well, and the wheel and tire are used to hold them in place. Because of their location, it is impossible to use a wider wheel without a significant amount of rubbing on either the inside or outside."

As long as you get the correct back spacing there is no reason you can't run 18 x 10's on the back as well as the front. All of the Roush cars have 18 x 10's on all four corners with 275/40-18 tires.

The wider tire in front is going to result in tramlining (Following grooves in the road). My Z06 does this and I hate it. I recently drove a Roush Stage 3 and it tramlined worse than my Z06. Don't do it!
