if I could find a way to run 11"s up front I'd look into it! 
I'm far from an expert in race setups, I just go off of what I know works from other cars. I dont know for certian if a 10" all around will be faster than a 9" all around, but I do think that it's possible that it is.
Thats why this board is so good, because we'll end up hearing reasoning for why its faster and why it isnt. Then people can make up their own mind if it seems like a good idea.
The other nice thing about the ASM front fenders is that it allows for lower offsets of 9" rims to clear larger brake calipers. On a 8.5-9" front rim, it's very difficult to run a large caliper without running into offset/clearance difficulties.
THere are a lot of options to discuss, but the most fun idea to me was the discussion of 10" front rims.

I will not give out exact offsets (sorry, I put a bunch of time into this one).
What do you all think?

You never should have made the thread, now someone out there will beat you to it. You'll be lucky if you could even be the second one to run all 10"s. By the time I post this there are probably already a hundred people ordering wheels with those secret offsets and having them shipped next day air.

Couldn't you just get a widebody front fender (like the custom carbon ones that s2kwhite made a while back) and tuck a high offset 10" rim in there?
I don't really see what the "secret" is here, other than the fact that no one has bothered to do it yet

If somebody wants to pay me 5 grand I will take off your fenders and mount 15" wide drag slicks. Come on dude, give me five minutes and a ruler and I can come up with your magical offsets. If you want a guinnea pig just say so. You're supposedly a large business and can't poney up the $1000 max to buy one wheel and test fit it? Then if it appears to work buy the others and test them. What if they're not any better or even worse than a 9" setup, are you gonna give said persons money back?
