Would rear 264's fit on the front?
I'm thinking of running a square setup for the track...I'm keep the sleeper look for my car. I dont wanna upgrade wheels or anything. Is it possible for me to put 135i rears on the front? If i can waht's the widest tire i can run with the rears? Maybe do a 255 / 255 setup? or a 245 / 265 setup. Does anyone know if 265 would fit on the stock rears ? Things to note
I am on the KW V2's but i am on the highest you can possibly get them, which is still lower than stock...

I've had this same idea. Even got the extra set of 264's to enact my plan. Took it over to the suspension folks to check on fitment..... Would need to get shorter springs by about an inch... then run 12mm spacers.... max neg camber... raise the car a few mm.... and the general consciences is that when the suspension is compressed in a turn, I'll still impact the fender.
Back to the drawing board. btw, I'm talking about Toyo 888 245's |

I have 261's and I found out the hard way that they don't. the other day had new tires put on and as I am waiting for the mechanic to pull my car out of the bay I hear this grinding noise and then the car just wouldn't move back or forth. so after a few minutes of scratching our heads I asked him to pull the wheel off. low and behold the idiot had installed the 225's on the rear wheels and slapped them up front. so I guess unless there is a spacer the rears won't work up front. at least with the 261's
