Im pretty sure you could never get them to fit up front without fender flares....big ones. Are you just curious or did you want to do this? If so, why?

my 17x10.5s fit in the front. I would Imagine if you ran a 295 in the front, It could fit. I doubt you could get a 315 in there though on an 18in rim

I have seen 18x10.5s w/ 295s and 17x11s w/ 315s up front. never heard of an 18x11 working up front. I'm not saying it defiantely isnt possible, just never heard of it being done. However, the 18x10.5s I saw, looked pretty sunken in in the picture I saw. Theres a member on here who has it. I dont rememebr the user name. But I think an 18x11 could work w/ maybe a 305-30

I have 18x10's in front...works fine. Not sure about 11's though, the only way I could see them working at all would be if the car isn't lowered...which kind of loses the road race look you're going for.

I've seen 17x11's with 315's on all 4 corners before.

It is on a teal LT1 car. The pic is floating around here somewhere.

i think that Lt1 looks pretty good. Just dont have them sticking out 4 inches past the fenders.

Looks like an autoX car to me.

Not that that's a bad thing at all
