Default Supra TT rears on SC 300/400 front

This may have been asked before, but...
Will they fit without mods? With spacers?

Wheels, that is. I'd like to put TT rears on the front and have the fronts or another set of rears widened to put on the rear, if possible.

Actually guys.... It does work and no need to roll the fenders ...it steers like crap though...
There is a thread in the sc3 forum even showing a car with this setup... My homeboy did it to his sc but didn't like the ride ....

what's wrong with the steering?

i know someone who put 9.5 in the front and 11 in the back for his sc3, it's hre, offset should be close to that of the stock supra rear, but i thought he had to roll the fender a bit?

Not sure if the steering was affected by previous camber set up for big time drop but just seemed heavy... maybe power steering related and less to do with the wide fronts.. at the time didn't get into it... I believe he said the 275 was too big up front and he went to 255 ...
