Now, if you want to try to fit a 245 tire in the front then the 8.5" wheel would make sense but you would probably have to modify the fenders and suspension to avoid rubbing.
I wanted the 8.5's all around since they are noticeably more concave vs the 7.5"s. The purpose of this thread was to see if I could fit the 8.5" up front without any suspension mods such as camber plates, arms, fender rolling, etc.

I have a set of 7.5"s already on the way, but thanks everyone for their input. Looks like I'll be using some spacers.
