// Running 10.5" Rims all around \\

My buddy Brian had the idea to test fit one of his rear wheels and put it up front. He's running +45 offset in the rear with a 275/30/20 Hankook tire.. We first test fitted the wheel with a 10mm spacer and it hit the caliper. We had to run a 15mm spacer to clear the caliper. It looked good IMO, he thought the tire was too thick. I thought it was fine. If he goes this route, he's going to run a 255/30/20 tire. Here are some pics of course!

That actually looks pretty good. The tires aren't overstretched on the wheel like is so popular now, the car isn't over lowered, and the fitment is pretty flush with the fenders without excessively stupid tire-devouring negative camber. Not bad.

That's what I was telling him, if he keeps it this way, he can actually rotate his tires LOL. He's going to do it, but he's still debating on the tire size.

Probably 255-265 is the widest he can comfortably go in front. 265 might actually fit better on a 10.5" wheel if it doesn't rub anywhere.

Looks good but also looks like the front will rub. 255 should do perfect.
