17x10 in the front might be a little too big. If someone can confirm this. But I think 18x9 would be perfect in the front. I just ordered 18x9s in the front and 18x10 for the rear.

Yeah, I think if you had two different wheel sizes it might look weird, but it might not, I know the new Camaro's come w/ 20's in the back and 19's in the front.
I'd stick w/ one wheel size, bigger in back and smaller in front.

My 17x9's up front wtih 255/50/17's rub just a tad at max turning radius. I wouldn't any wider up front.

Yeah, it buldges about .5", but it sits really nice, and you can't tell unless you get right next to it.
I can take some pics tomorrow if you guys wanan see 'em?

It looks good! I think having them stick out just a tad adds to that muscle look
