17x9" or 17x10" for front on FD

car is on stock suspension same as engine.

My original plan was 9" with 245/40/17 for front and 10" with 275/40/17 for rear. Should I go with 10" for front and 10.5-11" for rear?

Thanks.

10" wide wheels up front will work only w/ a high enough offset (+50) and coilovers.

You can run 245/40-17 on a 17x8.5, and 255/40-17 on a 17x9.
