Anyone here ever put a rear offset rim on the front?
Anyone here ever put a rear size & offset rim on the front? I am wondering if anyone has done it to have a deeper lip up front or to have a deep con-caved set up all the way around. I have heard you can do it with spacers up front but I am wanting a lil more info.....and pics if possible.

at 9 inches the rear wheels are 1/2 wider and the ET is just 1mm different. I tested it on the front and i felt the inner part of the wheel was too close (prob 1/8 in ?) to the suspension part.
Also you may notice that you'll need alignments more frequently w/ biggers wheels/tires. Maybe even new camber bolts. Good luck.
