10'' wide wheels?

is anyone running 10'' wide wheels all around? if so, what size tires, and offset and other info, do they rub? looking to get some 10'' wide rims for more lateral grip, they'd have to be light weight also, but just asking if anyone is running this width cause of rubbing issues and stuff.

Ive seen a couple of people are running ten in the rear, anybody know if tens in the front would fit ? why wouldn't tens in the front be a good idea, to keep the handleing neutral, like stock, without creating understeer, like the staggered setups do? Also this is going to be a track car, and weekend driver, so its not a daily driver per-say

10 fronts do not fit...9 is the limit

just as 10 rears are the limit

really if you want more start cutting...with a big saw :D

besides...10 fronts will do a number on your steering

So what is the biggest tire that will fit???? Who cares if a 10" wide wheel fits if all that is on it as a 245. :D I have seen 275 all the way around. Anyone tried anything bigger?

I think it does not fit because the rim sticks out?

8" to 10" is 2 inches and 54mm 225 to 275 is 50mm... is that because of the 4mm difference :p
