Surely this has been covered before, sorry if it has but I didn't find what I was looking for...

Will the 06 rear wheels and tires work on the front without any problem? I was thinking of purchasing a pair of rear wheels with 245/45/18 to put on the front so I could fully rotate a set of non directional tires.

Thanks.

Will screw up your VDC/TCS and make your speedo read incorrectly... not to mention will look silly

Yes you can , but its not ideal.

what about rears on the front with just a wider tire, but same overall height?

That will work. VDC only cares about the overall diameter. It has no idea how wide the wheels are (or does it...........?? )

That's the ideal setup. Square setup . . . same size rims & tires on all four corners. Nothing to worry about -- it will not affect VDC.

Why not?

Thanks everyone for the replies.

I hadn't considered it would be enough to cause VDC/TCS issues. As far as looks would it really even be noticeable if the rears matched? A friend did a similar set up on his M5 and I didn't notice it looking unusual.
