I've got 10's all around as well.

I woudl recommend 10's out back and 9's up front. I only say this because I do get a little rub when I make a complete turn in reverse.
It's not bad, but it is annoying and it sounds bad. It hasn't effected the wheelwell or the rim though, so it's not causing damage thankfully.

Obselite, what type of wheels do you have? And also what size tires do you have, and are you using any spacers?

I don't understand why you would want 18x10s all around...its not helping you at all.

I want as much rubber contacting the road at all times. I am into handling, not straight line performance. I want as much advantages as I can get.

Like this Kenny Brown race car, How hot is that. Kinesis wheels 18x10 all the way around.

18X9 would be better for you in front. the difference in tire size you oculd use is negligable. and you'd have a little bit less hydroplaning in rain with 9s.
