Default 10.5 wheels in the front?

Has anyone installed 17 x 10.5 torque thrust m or any 10.5 wheel in the front? If so what size tires? Did a search and could not find much.

I had 10.5" momo R3's up front.

56mm offset and 275/40's all around.

It did rub if they balance the tire using a lip weight tho.... wouldnt suggest using this width rim....

also 275's were stretched.... run 285's and youd be better.... but.... that would be too wide for the front...

You can run 17x11's with 315s on all corners. Many have done it.

the issue with the wheel weight rubbing is prolly due to that specific wheel design.

F-bodies are nose heavy. If you are serious about going fast, run 17x11's and 315's on all 4 corners. Yes, they will fit (with a little work).
