rear yes, front no

Fitting 10" in the front is possible. But I wouldn't reccomend doing so, you'll need a good amount of camber/stretch to pull it off. Not to mention the beating your fenders will take.

EDIT: nvm, if you stick with a moderate offset range +30's to +40's you can pull off 10" in the front with a decent pull and very stretched tires (215/35's)

18x10+38 all around; front: 215/35 rear: 225/40

Not my cup of tea, but it can be done:

same wheel/offset all around; 225/35 tire all around.

There's honestly no functional reason to run a 10" front unless you're planning to drift or break necks. +25 is not break neck worthy though

That sounds much more reasonable lol. You can always use a spacer up front if you want more poke.

Yeah it looks like it cleared but on full lock and you're going over a bump I can't imagine it would still clear!
