Default Wheel Widening

Iono if any of you have done this, but I'm thinking about buying a set of used Work VS-KF's from SoCal35 but wanted a wider stance. So I have a couple questions:

1) His current set up is 19x8 and 19x9, is there anything wrong with putting his 19x9's in the front?

2) I called up Eric Vaughn, apparently a famous wheel widening guy, who wanted to know whether or not the wheels are mounted from the front or the rear..not quite sure what that means so that's why I'm bringing it up. Do any of you guys know??

Thanks

So you're saying you want to run 9 in the front? what about the back. You can definitely run 9 in the front. the back you can even do 11, just depend the offset and if you're willing to do any fender mod.

aliu603, yes you can run 19x9's up front BUT if you have a 350 you better make sure its High disk (R disk) or it wont clear the calipers.
