What's the max on the front? I have some 8" I bought for the back but if I put 10's on there instead....

I know 8's work on the front but I'm not sure about 10's. Prolly a lot less turning radius with 10's.

My bad, I meant that I was thinking of putting the 8's I bought for the rear on the front and going with some 10's on the rear instead.

I'll be getting Wheel Vintiques 62's, (4.5" backspace).
