I own an 03 touring. Is it possible to use a rear oem wheel for the front? I believe they are the same size. 18x8. Has anybody done this?

 

It's not the same size, it's a staggered offset. But, you can still use it. I've got 8.5s in the front and 9.5s in the rear.

 

not true. They are 18x8 all around.



The tires are different sizes but the wheels are exactly the same. So yes you can use a rear wheel upfront.

 

Don't forget to remove the little bolt sticking out of the front wheel hub. It's there to prevent you from accidently doing what you're talking about doing - swapping front to rear wheels.

who says the mods aren't good around here?

 

For some odd reason my 03 touring wheels fit fine front to back with the bolt installed. But had to remove it for my aftermarket wheels.

 

Why not?

 

thanks..gonna go do some swappin

 

I thought my stockers were different sizes? Maybe because mine's an '06 or am I just wrong?

 

Depending on the year and size, some are the same, some are different.

The tires are definitely a different size, i.e. the staggered setup.

 

The '06 stock rims (5-spoke) are staggered -- 18x8 in front & 18x8.5 in rear.

The 6-spoke stock rims are 18x8 all around.

The 7-spoke stock rims are 17x7.5 in front & 17x8 in rear.

The 6-spoke track rims are also staggered, 18x8 in front & 18x8.5 in rear.
