I am trying to find out if it would be ok to have the same front wheels as we have on the rear.

I don't know if its a fitment or performance issue, I would make my life easier so I can rotate the tires

I also would like to do the same

They will fit as long as you can find them....

so no issue with using the same size we have for the rears on our front as well

criticalgt

no the difference is very minimal in width and offset

350 F SPORT Rears DONT Fit On Front.. Found out the Hard Way when i got a flat on the front wheel and tried to bring the rear tire to the front so i wouldn't have a donut for steering ..

I had a difficult time finding winter tires that would have the same tread in the front/back because the wheels are staggered. Most of my options were performance winter tires.

Also found out, since we can't rotate our tires with OEM wheels, the warranty is dropped to 25,000km instead of 50,000km...

Why wouldn't they fit? Do they not clear the calipers?

Either way, swapping the tires on the wheels after two or three seasons will cost you no more than $100.

235/40/18 will fit nicely on 8" and 8.5" wheels. 245/40/18 is also an option...

It sucks that they are using different sizes.

There is a suspension piece on the inside that won't clear. I measured as best i could and 9mm was about the clerance from the OEM front wheel to the piece. The lip of the rear tire will touch this peice if you try to put a rear wheel on the front.

I'm guessing *maybe* a narrower tire might fit with the rear rim, but it just needs less offset.

Just have a quick look and you can see it pretty easily.

....or 15mm spacers I guess
