^^^ I'd meant I rather be safe and go with something smaller than a 10 inch width

its possible i believe some are runing 9.5 n 10.5 so its possible, i myself run 19 x 9 22 offset up front, probably gotta run a more stretched tire then 235, i run a 225/35 up front and ive seen other members go 215

why dont you just get a 9 in the front and run lower offsets..you will still get the concave..and then run 10s in the rear.you will get concave all around then.

If you don't rub the fender then you will rub your struts and springs. Sounds like loads of fun.
