haha wowwowwow... I bought the car used last June and the wheels/tires came with the car. Never heard of anyone putting FWD wheels on a RWD car...

Is there any danger to driving with these FWD wheels?

Frank does, and its with a specific fender roller. However, all shops cannot guarantee the paint will crack.

I can guarantee cracked paint also, that's easy =)

As to any problems with running those wheels. the only one I see is having a 8.5" rear wheel.

my 9.5 is small, 8.5 is realllly narrow.

oh ok, thanks for the info man. as to the width - i'd love wider rears, but don't have the cash now. in general, i like these wheels, especially as they are just about flush without spacers.
