Mount stock rear wheels up front?
I have a cracked front wheel I need to replace. I found a pair of stock rear 18x8.5 for sale but I need to know if the rears could be used up front because they're wider with different offset. Anyone out there have this setup with pics? Pros and cons? Thanks

If they don't come with tires then get them and install them they should work fine with some 235/40/18 or 245/40/18. You might have tiny rubbing on the fender liner in front nothing of concern. It's the same place people usually get rubbing. Nothing on the actual fender or component. Go for it. I'll go as far as saying you might be able to push the 225/40/18 stock tire size on it.

our wheels are not staggered by much if unless you do some intense touring or something your not loosing anything in performance with matching wheels up front and in the rear. Ive mounted them and know they work. If you go with 235 or 225 tires all around youll now be able to rotate your tires and increase their life. I know a few people that has done this and are very happy with the results.

Please take a look at this hair line crack on my wheel and tell me if it's fixable. It can still hold air when inflated but will slowly leak out within a day or less. Thanks
