Wow, are you sure you want to go 10" on the front?

why is there a disadvantage to going with this much meat up front? wouldnt it make it handle better since i have 18x10s in the back?

Im no expert

I would think that much meat in the front would cause excesive wear on bushings, etc. Also I think when you are on raods that have the truck grooves, the car would tend to move around on you.

doesnt pull any worse than the 18x8s, i think its better actually?!?! also, the roush stangs come with 18x10s up front so im sure its no prob with wear. AND i can go around corners like a mofo now! with the staggered setup, the car would kind of understeer a lot more around corners, i didnt like the way it felt, didnt feel too stable, now it is perfect!
