Default 10.5" front rims

Hey guys I was wondering if it's possible to run a 10.5" front rim on my 2is? I know I might need more fender work but do any of you have pictures of cars running 10.5" front rims. Currently I'm running 10.5 rear and 9" front

That's too wide and even if you stretch the tires you'll have issues. Just throw your rear wheel on up front..even pay to have your front tire on to the rear tire but save yourself the hassle. Widest I've seen is 9.5 up front and that wasn't able to go very low.

There are members on here with 10"s up front but a 10.5" would need wider fenders.

ccdan ran a 18x10.5 up front just to see if it fit. if you check in the aggressive wheel thread you can find pics of the setup but its in the later regions of the thread. but i dont know exactly what his offset was so that doesnt help at all. i have a 10 up front and i think thats the widest i would go

my guess is youd have to play with spacers up front too right?
