You might try mounting your rears on the front to check that out, and if it works ok, grab a couple used rear wheels and mount those on the rear to be truly "square".
Offset is the same front to rear. I don't plan to run an autocross with the 0.5 inch narrower front wheels in the back but for normal driving they are fine. I have the fronts on the back right now. Both ends of the car seem happy.
