Default 18x9 in front

can you put 18x9s up front and 18x10s in the back on a 99-04 stang? or is 18x9 to big for the front?

I have 18x9 FR500's in the front. they just rub a little bit during tight turning and maneuvering (parking etc.)

do whatever you prefer any of those combinations will work. decide whether you want to be able to rotate them or not, and how much you are willing to pay for each tire not just now but in the future when you need to replace them.
