Max Tire Width


What is the max you can put on the front, I want to be able to still rotate the tires but would still like 10's on the back so guess this will determine how wide I go

huge tires all around looks retarded..why not throw on 26's..8's all around is the biggest i'd EVER do..do 9's in the rear in 7 or 8's upfront..
