Re: a little advice please...

I like running a narrower wheel up front.
8's with 9.5's,... or 8.5's with 10's.
You really need to play with the backspace number to make it look right in my opinion.
With 17" or larger diameter rims you can use a 5"-5.5" BS up front.
Just remember the BS numbers are in direct relationship to the rim width.
4.5" BS might be fine on a 8" wide rim,... but won't work an a 12" wide rim.

The track width of the front is wider than the rear axle, so for me,... running the same size rim all the way around doesn't look right.
Just my opinion,...
