Default Square tire setup?

I was wondering if anybody is running a square tire setup on their IS350? On my 300ZX twin turbo I have the rear wheel size on all four corners. I'd like to rotate my tires and prolong the tire life is possible. Has anyone purchased stock rear wheels for the front of their car? How is the clearance? Any rubbing?

Don't quote me, but with the factory split-spoke 18s, you might not have enough caliper clearance using the rears up front. Test the theory and let us know though!

Gville350,

That would be way to easy to test. Just need a jack and pull off the wheels on one side and test fit the rear on the front.
