Default Putting 19x10s on front

whats up guys been sleeping on the site for a while but i got a quick question:

I'm looking to buy a new set of rims for my 06 GT for this spring and been contemplating on these shoes

http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-...9x10-0510.html

I love the way the 19x10 sits as opposed to the fronts 19x8.5, so I was wondering if it would be possible to have 19x10 all around the car instead of having the staggered look?

I talked to AM and they said they wouldn't recommend it but it may be possible with "modifications"?? - No idea what they mean. My friends says it may be possible with alteration of the wheel wells in the front to accompany the extra width of the front wheel otherwise the car wont' turn, idk if this all that needs to be done

Any suggestions? I really want those rears all around the car lol

It's either that or the 20" flat black Saleen Wheels which are just as crazy sexy haha

A 10" rim up front would force you to put a wide tire on it. I can tell you from experience that I don't care for my 275's up front. They tend to tramline pretty fierce on rutted roads and there are a LOT of highways that are rutted, even if you don't easily see them.

If I could do it over again, I'd put no wider than 255's up front.

I've got 18x9's around my car and I get the tramlining bad as well when compared to the stock rims & tires.

19" has the worst tire selection out there.

I would never put a wheel that wide up front. My rears are 10" and fronts 8.5" I wouldn't think that would be an easy alteration to get them in there either.
