Default WTK: 20x10 wheels all around

Maybe a dumb question, but will 10" wide wheels fit on the front of an 06 S281 with no issues?

That greatly depends on the height of the car, the offset of the wheels, and the width/profile of the tire. You can also utilize steering rack limiters.

Best suggestion, put your rears in the front and to lock-to-lock checks. Compress the suspension and check again.

I ran Forgestar CF10's in a 20x10 +41 front with ZERO issues but as Jason stated you'll have to try one of your rear wheels on the front to make sure it clears the brakes. The stock Saleen wheel offset is not as aggressive as most aftermarket wheels so they sit furthur inside of the fender.

Default Hmmmmm !

I am due for a new set of tyres and just noticed when checking the tyre sizes that the rear wheels are on the front and the fronts are on the back.

im guessing that the Ford dealer mechanic must have rotated the rims at the last service , not realising they are different size rims.

so yes they fit but do rub slightly at full lock.

interesting timing of your thread SPEEDGUNNER. im glad I checked the tyre sizes.

I don't know how many times I've had to remind the service guy not to rotate the tires.

as seen in the picture above the sway bar, the 10' wheels rubbed the paint off to expose metal on both sides.
