Sorry to hear about your planned venue being cancelled. Do you have another one coming up on the calendar?
@bubblehead93, just a heads up. Most of your signature text is a lightish yellow that is basically impossible to read on the default white background. You might want to use the same gray as the lower text.
What is your plan to run 10in front wheels?I'd pull the steering rack boots and install some limiters to be safe. I put 3 on each side (knowing i would be ok with 2) and only plan to run a 10in front wheel with a 285/295.
Also, give your power steering system a flush and good inspection.....its going to be getting a workout with that much tire up front. I converted everything over -6AN line including the hydroboost.
What is your plan to run 10in front wheels?
I am trying to figure out a square setup for my car and was settled on a 9.5 inch setup until I started taking some measurements and looking at different offsets.
I wonder if a 10 inch square setup could be made to work with the right offset and some minor pulling of the fenders.
Thoughts or insight?

I'll be very interested in your findings when you mock everything up.Well I have just shy of 7 inches of backspacing from the edge of the hub's wheel mounting surface to the coilover spring with an 18in wheel. So I went with an 18x10 wheel with +15 offset and 6.1in of backspacing, with the idea that a 285/295 tire will bulge another 0.5inches beyond the rim.....that puts me pretty close to the minimum required 0.5 inches remaining you want for clearance for sidewall flex. That's the best estimate I could make to get the wheel furthest inward while still having the clearance to the spring. If I need to space it out, I should be able to do so with a very small spacer, like a 1/8th hopefully.
My front fenders are already rolled and off the car but I may need to have them pulled as well. With -2.5 to -3 degrees camber, I will have to see how much a 285/295 tire will tuck inside the fender.....I don't expect to require flares or wide fenders like the OP, but I also don't mind a slight poke if that's the case. Like the OP, i'm running 400 pound front springs, but i'm also on an aluminum engine block and completely stripped out interior so I should hopefully have enough spring rate to keep the front end contacting the tire should it not fully tuck into the fender....will have to play around with ride heights and the overall setup to see what's what.
Once I have the wheels in hand, I will mock them up to check clearances and may take some pics to share.
