17x10 in front. will they fit?

ok, due to not wanting to have the same setup as my frend's frend: 5 zigen 17x9 front, 17x10 rear, i want to fit 17x10s in the front and be a badass

i already got the 17x10 +12 in the rears with 50mm chargespeed overs and 17x8 +15(+35 with 20mm spacer) siting FLUSH in 20mm chargespeed overs. i have NO idea if i can fit 10"ers in there(+12 offset) but maybe if i cut the end of the fnders off and extended them i may be able to pull it off. do u guys think it would clear the suspension?(tein ha's) stop me if u think this is idiotic.

If you know someone who is good with bodywork you could have him mold the fiberglass out farther? 5zigen 17x10 look so much beter then the 17x9.

stock fenders and roll/pull them and with your chragespeed you could for sure fit larger than 1J

you can fit what ever you want in the front but you will catch on the inner frame rail of your car

10J is WIDE

test fit and see what you have to modify to make those fit

since you already have some 10in wheels in the rear, why not try them over the front to see if it fits? WHat wheels are you getting, 5zgien?
