the rears can work with a roll and maybe even a pull but 10.5 is too large of a width for the fronts

Depends on the offset. There are definitely some people on here running some crazy sizes!

Those are nice. A fellow member has those on his 5th gen can't remember what his width was. 18x10 in the rear you will be fine with a roll as for the front that might be a bit too much poke. Guess you could always buy 2 of the 10's and see what they look like up front. You know what offset they are?

i think the offset is +30

10" is definitely too wide for the front.

18x10 is only offred with 25 offset.
what i would suggest is get 18x10 rear and 18x8.5 front with +30 offset. add a 5mm spacer later on

The member you are referring to is MajesticKen. He has xxr 521's 8.5 in the front with 10 in the rear. The only way you can fit a 10 in wide wheel on our cars is if you roll the fenders, and stretch the tires, although even then you might still rub.

aww my old rims lol. yep they are gone now. i had the car almost touching the lips of the wheels with the coilovers 2 weeks ago. you can run a 9.5 in the front but the xxrs come 8.5. you can run a spacer like i did. if u plan to be droppped low up front then run a 215/35/18 tire. if not then just get a 225/40 series tire. the rear you have to run a 235/35or40/18 tire plus rolled fenders and you can slam it on top of the lip of the wheel. the stretch isnt as bad as people say and it holds up well.

Or you can get the right offset and not have to stretch the tires too much. 9.5 with a 275 and slammed will fit with rolled fender and right offset.

Running a 20x8.5 40mm offset 245/35 on the front
Running a 20x10 40mm offset 245/35 in the rear.

Stretched the tires in the rear and rolled the rear fenders. Note: I'm on Tein SS coilovers

If you have an auto the right side (passenger) sits a little further out then the left. Position of the axle.

10" wide has been done before on a 4th gen with no camber and it was slammed. I have pics if you guys want. Clearance is pretty much within millimeters both on the fender side and the strut side though. Not practical for a daily driver.
