back wheel as a spare on the front??
So I got 2 wheels from a c240 that I roll with on the rears. Sizes are the same, they're a few mm's in I believe, not enough to inspire me to get spacers. Anyway, as part of the trade, I gave this lady my spare and now all I have is a rear c230 wheel- I just realized the front wheels are smaller, so in a pinch if I got a flat on the front tire, could I mount the c230 rear wheel on the front? Does this make sense? I'm on a lot of coffee right now.

I think he is asking if he can put a rear c230 rim on the front if he had a flat. I don't believe they will clear the front shocks though.
More important of a question what is this about running c240 rims on the rear whats on the front?

My original rear rim was cracked and I found a salvaged c240 with same size tires stuck to the c240 rims- rims are a little thinner I believe than the c230 so they tuck into the car like 4 mm's. The front rims are original, I just put michelin pilot a/s tires on the front today... nice! But still, what if I get a flat on the front some day? Will the c230 rear rim/wheel work/clear the shocks?
