^i disagree; VERY few members run setups similar to that. Not many want to deal with the fender work and the relatively dangerous tire sizes.

You don't seem like you did any of the mods on your car yourself, but if you did, and you looked under your car when you put on your wheels, you will see the clearance between your tire wall and rim with the suspension is TIGHT.

10" wide rims up front will most likely hit something if you don't run it sticking out from the fenders.

Just because you can fit 9" wide does not mean you can fit 10" wide, unless you've done it yourself.

If someone survived a fall off a 3 story building and told you that you can survive off a 4 story building, would you jump?

Trust me, I run 10" wide wheels in the back too, and I tested it on my fronts.
