Actually no.... I haven't thought about that, what should I take into consideration regarding that?

Width and offset!

Try taking a look the current gap between the tyre and hub arm. Use that as a reference for calculating how much further in you can afford to go.

why 10's ???? if it was a rwd i could understand going that wide all round, or if it was a drag car i could understand 10's on the front. It will be a lot slower due to the extra friction caused by the extra rubber as well, i know it wont be a lot slower but slow is slow.

I have a wide arch kit for the 5th and i am in 2 minds over it but i am going for big power and possibly a big conversion so it will work with it.

You won't rub on the I side with that width and offset. 17x9 et 45 still clears the inside front.
