I think it may have had to do with brake options or something, but im pretty sure the rear rims will fit on the front of any sedan or ute provided they dont have a 6 piston front brake?Can anyone clarify this for me? I think the rears are 28.5mm offset and the fronts are 35mm offset? If they were going on a standards AU or BA is there any reason they wont fit on?Cheers in advance.

Use the offset calculator below, its really usefulhttp://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car has 9.5" 19s with a 35 offset on the front and it has been challenging to get it to ride without catching the guards and hitting the suspension on the inside as its pretty low.
