I have a base with oem 17" rims.
I just purchased another set of oem 17" rims and tires. I removed the bolt that keeps the rear tire from being put on the front of the car, and now have the larger oem rears on the front and back.There seems to be about 1/2" space between the tire and upper control arm in the front. I can now rotate my tires front to back.
I am looking for non-directional tires so i can cross rotate. I'm just wondering if anyone out there has done this? Can anyone see any problems with this setup?
thanks

 

Non-directional tires with the proper speed rating may be difficult to find.

You drive a base? Obviously there will be no VDC/TSC problem. And a little more rubber up front will help with under steer.
