Default 10" wide wheel up front?

Anyone know if this is possible? Saw a GT on another forum that had 20x10's all around but when I called an online distributor they said it couldnt be done. If it is possible, is there a specific offset the the wheel must be? Thanks for any help.

Typically, it can't be done. 9 inch wheels are the max for the front, or you would not be able to turn properly. You may be able to pull it off with some wheel spacers, but I would avoid the trouble.

The turning isnt the issue, the spokes from the rim rub against the caliper, had to deal with that headache already

The Question Is Why Would You Want That Big In The Front....Its Not Like Its A Front Wheel Drive Honda And You need it For Traction.. If You Dont Mind Me Asking Why You Want Such Large Wheels In The Front? And Do You Have a Link To Any Pics With That car With Those Wheels I Would Like To See It.

07-09 GT500s come stock with 9.5" rims, they rub on my car but any 05-09 Mustang OTHER than the Deluxe V6 with stock 16" tall rims will work fine with 9.5s. The steering wheel turns further in a deluxe V6 because it lacks steering stops

I dont have experience with 10" wide rims but it seems like that would be pushing it a little bit

just do 9's all the way around. you're running a 6 and you don't need that wide of a tire without forced induction even on the rear. with a 9 inch wheel you're running a 255-275 tire size which is plenty of grip.

turning radius would be decreased the way the wheel turns would be uneven because of such wide tires, also the tire rub your going to get with the larger wheels. i went with 18x9/10 setup ultimate grip in the back no sliding the front end has great steering adjust to the right camber u can take a corner faster than most cars out there.
