Square stance

Has anyone put own rear wheels on the front of cars for a square stance? Will it work?

They won't clear the calipers on a C55. Rears are too concave.

yes it will work, you just need to add a spacer up front for the calipers and inner wheel well to clear. I converted my wheel bolts to wheel studs and lug nuts to make the process easier as well. I used a 15mm spacer but you could test fit to see what works best for you.

Correct, spacers, and probably not much of one, and you're golden. Just trying to bolt them up is a no-go, is what I meant.

your set up is gorgeous man. Maybe I will look into it in the distant future when I maybe become a show stopper. As for now I am happy with the way my car is with the stock however I would prefer the all round stepped 55 wheels. The rears do look better than the front.

none... for now
Before anyone says yes, I did it, you have to compare the C55 rear wheel offset to whatever wheel you have. Obviously spacers usually greatly open the door of possibilities though.
