this might sound silly, but is it possible to use the rear wheel size up front as well as the back?

lets say i wanted to get the Nismo 19" lmgt4....but i wanted the same size all around. would it be possible to buy 2 sets of the rear only...giving me 19x9.5 all around and letting me use up to 275 all around (or even wider in the back....up to 285?)

is there enough space in the front to do this safely??

anyone?

 

what is the offset of the nismo's. IT should be.

 

i know the LMGT4 18" rears have a +30mm offset......would the 19's have the same offset?

 

I have often considered doing the same thing. Based on my research, I don't see why not. SCC (Sport Compact Car) mag claims a 9.5" wide tire with 30mm offset and 275/40/18 can fit up front, although there was some very light rubbing at full lock.

 

light rubbing? i dont like the sound of that. i really like the lmgt4 19", but i wanted a wider tire than 245 (or 255 i assume would fit on 8.5").

oh well i'll keep looking into it

I have a 9" (offset 25) with a 265/35 up front. I'm even lowered an 1" and have plenty of room. No rubbing. You should be able to get a 275/35 in there.
