Default 10 1/2" FR500 on front w/Cobra calipers?

Has anyone tried the 10 1/2" FR500 on the front of a car with Cobra calipers?

My 10 1/2" Cobra R's will clear with a 1/4" spacer but my Deep Dish Bullits will not. Looking to buy a full set of something different for track wheels.

Dont put large wheels in the front if your looking for track wheels. All of your traction is derived from your rear two wheels, it has nothing to do with your front two wheels. You want to make your car lighter, not heavier, so why add weight with a giant tire and a heavier rim?

Stick with 17x8 or 17x9" rims for the front. 10" rims your just throwing away your money needlessly.

I didn't state that correctly. What I mean is for autocross which involves much harder cornering transitions than open track. MO tire=less push!

Unfortunately, they will not fit either way.
