I believe he's running staggered 10.0 and 10.5, and wants to switch to 10.0 squared.

EC-7's sorry!

Would it be crazy to rotate my 10.5's to the front with 10's in the back but same size tires?

You were right, thank you! It was cooler out than when I was out before so adding 2 psi per tire cold helped. Still not in love with this tire though and moving on.

I guess the question is should I go square 10.5 et27 or square 10 et25, have a pair of each (staggered right now).

I don't see why 10 square would be better. The 10.5 square fits and will help widen the contact patches

On a 10" wheel, a 275 rcomp like the R1 looks way too chubby. The 10.5 will help the tire be happier.

Now that I know the 10.5 fits well, I will make sure all wheel sets in the future are that size!

Okay awesome, thanks for confirming, do you use any spacers with your setup?

Might be interested in the 10" wheels. Let me know what you're thinking with regards to price. Local as well.

Also, any way I can test fit them while I'm in Katy during thanksgiving?

I use 3mm front spacers, but I'm using the BW wheels. From what I'm told, the Apex wheels fit without any spacer.

Just PM'd you, I started thinking about price and then convinced myself to just keep them and eventually make two square sets! You are welcome to test fit either way. I see another pair for sale in the classified right now btw, different finish though.

Replied.

I'm not going to deal with wheel shipping anymore. Too much of a PITA.
