I need to know if anyone with the 18x10 Deep Dish Bullitt variants has tried to mount them in the front???

No One got a wild hair and just tried to see if they'd fit?!

They don't fit. The backspacing on the AR deep dish gets into the lower control arm assembly. The Roush 18x10's that come on their "Stage 3" cars fit but they aren't deep dish unfortunately.

That makes zero sense. The backspacing is +45, which falls within the correct backspacing for a 10" wheel up front (+50 to +40)

I did some research on the 18x10 Roush rim.It has a 45MM offset.It would make sense to run the same tire size used on the Roush rim for clearance. I've checked with Tire Rack,Discount,and American Racing and they do not recommend running the deep dish 10' wide wheel on the front of an s-197.
I ran a set of deep dish on my 07'GT,staggered 10's on the rear and 9's on the front.With the 35mm offset up front it did look pretty beefy.

Cool. I just did a test fit of a 10" +50 wheel with a 285 on it, and it clears the strut by 7-12mm. Also there was ZERO rubbing at full lock on the fender liner.

285's all around here I come!
