You couldnt fit the 10.5s up front without CRAZY rubbing issues, and it would stick out a lot.

yes you can, it's just not recommended...a Red i think 98' cobra here in Tally has them. i talked to the guy he's got some 500 + hp to his weeks and says he hasn't lost any turn radius. he's also a mechanic at the local Mercedez dealer...so yes but don't...

If you put 10.5's on the front you might as well put chrome fender well protecters and curb feelers on it.And while your at it a big aircraft wing for a spoiler.

You'll regret not getting the 10.5's in the rear. It is an awesome look. Screw rotating tires.
