Yeah, that's too big.

You're going to have to run at least a 295 tire in the front, which will look ridiculous.
Unless you have a track car where you need maximum contact with the road, 10.5 is unnecessary.

You can run 275s all around with minimal suspension work, but 275 isn't for a 10.5" wheel.

Can you say fender flares? or a bit of chopping at least? I run an 18X9 in the front on the street, and its flush with the edge of the fenderwell. a 10.5 would probably be 3/4" to 1" out, depending on the backspacing and such..... we wont talk about turning radius yet... haha

If you're going to get Saleen's, get 18's. 17's look out of proportion.

I think you're going to hate yourself if you don't go 18's. They seem to fit the wheel wells so much better than 17's, especially in Saleen's. Saleen's look the best in 18's. And you're def not going to fit a 245 on a 10.5 inch rim.

Wow. 10.5 on the front , now that would be kinda cool . Just run drag radials all the way around like 285. Up front then go like 315 on the rear. That would handle like a mofoooooo ,,

Sell your tires and get 18s. Wheel Replicas has a set on 18x9 18x10 polished for about $550 shipped.

I do agree Saleens ought to be 18's, and this is coming from a die hard 17" dood.

However, you can put the 245 on a 9" tire, and the stretch is not noticeable. Note some of my pictures. On a 10 or 10.5, you would be approaching hellaflush.

No.
