Re: front wheel question...

I would have to say no. I have 2.5 inch western brand dropped spindles and discs in the front and my 10's hit the fender lip on any tiny bump or dip. The disc brake kits move the wheels out around 2 inches but even if they didn't that's too close for a turn radius. Maybe CPPs modular spindles can fix it. Playing with the backspace won't help either because the calipers need room. I'm switching to 8's.

i'd think it is up to you and what skill sset u have and what u are willing to do to make things fit// a 13X10 wheel will require loads of work 18X10 not so much
