That is not what the OP is asking. He wants to know if anyone is running “rear wheels/ tires on the front”
He is asking if 8 1/2 inch rear wheels and 245/40- 20 tires has ever been put on the front. He is not asking if 245/40-20 tires have been put on the 7 1/2 inch front wheels.
Seems like a valid question. 8 1/2 inch wheels on all four corners? Unfortunately it won’t work with the stock rear wheels placed on the front of the car because of the offset. You would really have a huge clearance problem as the wheel/tire assembly would move out towards the fender by about 1/2 inch plus the wider tire would probably make everything outside of the fender.
Tire manufacturers don’t recommend 245/40’s on a 7 1/2 inch wide wheel.
Nor do they recommend 275/35’s on an 8 1/2 inch wide wheel as has been suggested in another thread.
235’s on the front and 255’s on the rear are as wide as we should go on the stock wheels. Problem is.... there are no good tire choices in those sizes that I’ve been able to find.
